St. Anastasia Island is located in the Burgas Bay in the Black Sea. It is surrounded by mystery and there are hundreds of legends and stories about it. One of the most famous legends is about the pirates who attacked the island at the time when it was housing a monastery. The monks hid in the church and prayed to Saint Anastasia to help them and save them from the raid. She heard their prayers and sent a fearsome storm which broke the pirate ship in two.
