136 years since the death of Hristo Botev.

love-dream-whisper:

On June 2nd, my country pays respects to one of the greatest heroes from our history, Hristo Botev. Today, 136 years have passed since his heroic death.

He was the leading initiator of the April Uprising which lead to the Russo-Turkish war and subsequently, the Bulgarian liberation from the Ottoman Empire.

He sacrificed his life on June 2nd, 1876 in order to attract the European attention to the suffering of our people and liberate us after 5 centuries of Ottoman domination.

He, who falls fighting for freedom, does not die. You are alive in our hearts.

Този, който падне в бой за свобода, той не умира. Поклон пред паметта ти.

fyeaheasterneurope: May 24 - Saints Cyril and Methodius Day (Orthodox churches). Born in the 820s in Byzantine Thessaloniki, brothers Cyril and Methodius are two of the most famous and influential saints in the Orthodox Church. They were missionaries among the Slavic peoples, translated portions of the Bible into Old Church Slavonic so that people could read it, and are credited with inventing Glagolitic, the first Slavic alphabet. Today they are widely remembered for their contribution in creating a literate public. May 24 is a public holiday in Bulgaria (where it is the Day of the Bulgarian Alphabet, Culture, and Education), Macedonia (where it is Slavonic Enlighteners Day), and in Russia (Slavonic Literature and Culture Day). They are also saints in the Roman Catholic church, but their feast day - a public holiday in Slovakia and the Czech Republic - is in July.

the-godswood: Честит ден на славянската писменост и култура, българи! С пожелание и надежда, че обществото ни ще намира повече време в забързаното си ежедневие, което да отдели за прочит на някоя книга; повече поводи за гордост и моменти, в които да се наричаме “българи” без срам, тъй като и ние сме дали нещо на този свят!
