Google Dooles 03.03.2024 04:15  Date: March 3, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Bulgaria’s Liberation Day on the anniversary of the nation's re-establishment as a sovereign state. On this day in 1878, the Treaty of San Stefano was signed, guaranteeing statehood and freeing the country from Ottoman rule. A little over a year later, the Grand National Assembly elected its first representative. People come together on the national holiday to celebrate and remember the journey to independence. The government holds wreath-laying ceremonies across the country at memorials like the Shipka Monument and other locations where important battles took place. Other common activities on this day include cultural shows, speeches by government officials, and a military parade that marches through Sofia, the nation’s capital. As night falls on this day of remembrance, many attend firework shows as a final celebration. Happy Liberation Day, Bulgaria! Location: Tags:
