Ден на Освобождението на България

На 3-ти март България празнува Деня на Освобождението си, деня, в който става независима от Отоманската империя. През 15. в. Отоманската империя анексира България и я управлява в течение на близо 500 години. Благодарение на Сан-Стефанския мирен договор, подписан на 3-ти март 1877 г., България тръгва по пътя на независимостта. Договорът бива сключен между Русия и Отоманската империя в края на едногодишна война, която назрява повече от 20 години преди военните действия да се разгърнат с пълна сила.

България е основана в началото - средата на 7 в. от н. е. и е считана от другите славянски народи за културен център на Европа. Въпреки че 1877 г. бележи началото на българското освобождение от Отоманците, България е официално освободена в 1888 г. След подписването на договора през 1878 г., в страната се установява конституционна монархия. Днес България е конституционна република с демократично избран парламент.

Денят на Освобождението е обявен за официален празник на страната в 1978 г. Държавните учреждения не работят, а частните компании сами решават дали да дадат на служителите си почивен ден. Из цялата страна се издига българското знаме и държавата организира речи, манифестации и празнични културни програми. На Деня на Освобождението се разказват трогателни истории от българското минало и се полагат венци пред Паметника на незнайния воин в София и Паметника на свободата в град Шипка.

LIBERATION DAY IN BULGARIA

On March 3rd, Bulgaria celebrates National Liberation Day, the day when Bulgaria gained its independence from the Ottoman Empire. In the fifteenth century the Ottomans annexed Bulgaria and ruled the region for nearly five hundred years. It was the Treaty of San Stefano (signed on March 3, 1877) that set Bulgaria on the path to self-rule. The treaty was accorded between Russia and the Ottomans at the end of a year-long war that had been brewing for over twenty years before full-blown hostilities were reached.

First established in the early to mid-600s AD, Bulgaria is considered by Slavic peoples to be the cultural heartland of Europe. While 1877 marked the beginning of Bulgarian freedom from the Ottomans, it wasn't until 1888 that Bulgaria was officially liberated. It established a constitutional monarchy in 1878 after the signing of the treaty. Today, Bulgaria is a constitutional republic with democratically elected parliament.

Liberation Day became a public holiday in Bulgaria in 1978. Public companies close, and private companies choose whether to grant their employees the day off. The Bulgarian flag is hoisted across the country, and the government sponsors speeches, parades, and cultural celebrations. Bulgarians also recount poignant tales from their history on Liberation Day, with wreaths offered at the Monument of the Unknown Soldier in the capital of Sofia and at the Liberty Monument in the city of Shipka.
