Every year on November 1st, Bulgaria marks the Day of the National Revival Leaders (sometimes called National Enlighteners Day).
The day is devoted to enlighteners, bookmen and fighters for national liberation who preserved the spiritual values of the nation over the centuries.
On that day, Bulgarians pay tribute to those involved in teaching, studying culture or scientific work.
As of 1st of November 1923, the day of national revival leaders was made an official holiday with a decree of Tsar Boris III (King Boris III) in honour of those visionaries who made a conscious effort to preserve the Bulgarian culture and did so much to establish a sense of national pride and lay the foundation for Bulgarian liberation (from Ottoman Rule).
It was banned in 1945 after Bulgaria came under Communist rule. The celebrations were resumed in 1992. It was then officially declared as the Day of the leaders of Bulgarian national revival and is a day off for all schools in the country.
