it is not surprising, of course, as Google always honors the best and the brightest - on any given special day of the year - and this is an exclusive of Google.bg (in other words, don't expect to find it on google.ca or google.whateverelse!)
Above here we have the perfect, for perfectly phonetic, representation of the word (okay, name...) "google" - in Slavonic alphabet, in Cyrillic really - in Bulgarian. Five sounds - five letters! It doesn't get any more efficient than this...!
But though fascinating this is, this is not the order of the day: the Bulgarian Holiday is. The Third of March - a true "Great Victory" took place on this date. The "officialisation" of that Victory, of the Liberation, was signed, sealed and delivered that day - making all the previous sacrifices, all the suffering, all the battles worthwhile. Oftentimes, such holidays imposed by the state merely purport to be a just cause for celebration, since it is a "great victory" only in the eyes of the state and of its agents, since all it really is is means to further their ideology and agenda.
It is definitely not the case here.
This is a true reason to celebrate, to commemorate, to remember in joyous as in mournful reverence - as today, those many years ago, a True Great Victory was achieved when Bulgarians finally achieved their dream of Liberation from their Turkish oppressors. They achieved it at a high cost - so many died in order to achieve this: Levski and Botev being but two who gave their lives. But their sacrifice was not in vain. Liberation was a FACT, finally, on this day back in 1878.
Freedom is therefore celebrated today - and that makes the Third of March a holiday for all of us, everywhere in this world: every single one of us who loves freedom, believes in eradicating all forms of oppression and vies for the ultimate Liberation; we all have cause for celebration today.
So... Happy Third of March to all!
