Dear community,

In the previous edition of the Bulgarian Culture Corner, we focused on the ski resorts in Bulgaria. If skiing is not your cup of tea, we offer you to drink yours in one of the numerous spa complexes that Bulgaria has to offer. Did you know that Bulgaria is the second country in Europe after Iceland in the number of mineral springs? Find out more in the slides below. 

Spring is just around the corner and in Bulgaria we have a special tradition to celebrate it. Have you heard of Baba Marta and the tradition of wearing martenitsi? Here are some interesting facts about the tradition. In this video you can learn how to make a martenitsa to give to your friends and family to wish them good health. 

In March we also celebrate our National Holiday – The Liberation of Bulgaria. On March 3, 1878, the Peace Treaty of San Stefano was signed, which put an end to the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878 and marked the re-establishment of Bulgaria as a sovereign state. Find out more.

Yours,
The Bulgarian Culture Team
