Holy Spirit Monday is also celebrated in Bulgaria as Macedonia Day. The tradition dates back to the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising (1903), originally it was the Day of the Struggle for the Liberation of Macedonia and Adrianople, and after the First World War it became the "Day of Macedonia" with the idea of paying tribute to all those who died in the struggle for liberation, explains Assoc. Prof. Dr Spas Tashev of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, a researcher on Balkan history, demography and geopolitics and author of the study "The Fights of the Macedonian Bulgarians for Rights and Independence - 68 Cases from the Period 1944-1994". Macedonia Day in Bulgaria is always celebrated on a movable date - the 51st day after Easter.
