As I was walking uphill the ancient fort "Tsarevets" today, dressed in my dignified school uniform, I was thinking about how glorious our ancestors were and how much they gave and sacrificed to gain the freedom of our country and its nation. On this day, 104 years ago in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria was proclaimed an independent republic. Since then, 22.9 have become an official national holiday. This year the celebration was accompanied by an impressive ceremony on the top of the old stronghold, a parade and lots of floral tributes. It can really make you proud of your nationality to see all these patriots paying tribute to their motherland on such a solemn day! To attend this event was really interesting and moving, so I would definitely do it again, even just to feel a part of this big Bulgarian family.
Congratulations on your Independence day, Bulgaria!
Честит празник, българи!
