Happy St. George's Day! Day of Bravery and Holiday of the Bulgarian Army

Dear name-day celebrants, military personnel, officers, reserve sergeants, veterans, and dear fellow citizens,

Please accept my most sincere congratulations on the occasion of St. George's Day – Day of Bravery and Holiday of the Bulgarian Army. This is one of the brightest and most beloved Bulgarian holidays, which combines faith, reverence for courage, and respect for duty.

On this day, we pay tribute to the Bulgarian soldiers – to all those who, with honor, self-sacrifice, and dignity, have defended the Motherland throughout the centuries.

Dear military personnel, continue to carry out your service in the name of the Fatherland with a sense of duty and immense responsibility. It is our sacred treasure, which we must protect and uphold for the sake of future generations.

A holiday of traditions and names

St. George's Day is also a holiday for all those who carry the strength and symbolism of Saint George in their name. It is a day that brings us together around family, traditions, and the feeling of belonging to a shared history and values.

  • Hope and renewal: The holiday carries a message of faith that goodness and justice always find their way.
  • The power of unity: St. George's Day reminds us that the strength of Bulgaria lies in its unity, its spirit, and its people.

I wish everyone health, peace, and prosperity. May there be warmth in your homes, and courage, faith, and confidence in your hearts. May Saint George protect Bulgaria and lead us toward better days.

Happy Holiday!
