Преображење / Preobraženje(Alteration Day) -
beginning of autumn
August 19





Отац премину,
до земље сад сам први.
Преображење.

Alteration Day --
father now gone, it is I
who feels the earth change.

Dimitar Anakiev / Димитар Анакиев


"Preobraženje" is not an exclusive Christian term related to the church. Quite contrary: the term was adopted by the Orthodox Church from a much older pagan celebration.
In "Serbian People Calendar" -- a calendar based in tradition older than Christian habits is a note on 19th August like that:

PREOBRAŽENJE (Alteration day):
"the alteration of woods and waters--
the leaves get the first yellow color
and water become cold" (*)
*Dimitar Anakiev
At the Tombstone, Red Moon Press, 2002

The Orthodox Church has celebrated this day since 7th century, the Catholic church since the 15th century.

The people of Balkans -- particularly true for Serbian and Bulgarian population-- have a very alive pagan tradition which has never been totally occupied by Christian (or any other monotheist) churches.
It is the very specific of the Balkans, in this case of Serbian People Calendar terminology. This facts also explains the specific of haiku poetry of the Balkans --much closer in many aspects to Japanese expression then to Western haiku poetry.
If possible I would like to keep connected with this Big Soul of the People, not with the ideology of Christianity-- which is also possible to be used but just as a secondary term.
