SOFIA-SABA
Every year on this day, November 1, the Bulgarian nation commemorates its awakeners who have preserved the spiritual and moral values of the Bulgarians.

Hundreds of writers, scholars, freedom-fighters and other pioneers of the Bulgarians' national self-awareness and pride are remembered on Awakeners' Day.

Having lived manly in the 18th and the 19th centuries, the so-called National Revival Period, they worked for the education and freedom of their compatriots.

But there were national awakeners more than 1,000 years ago as well, among them the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, who devised the earliest Slav alphabet; King Boris I, who embraced Christianity together with his people; and Boris's son Simeon the Great, under whom Bulgaria had its golden age.
