Bulgaria celebrated May 6, the day of Saint George the Victorious, the valour of its army. May 6 has been pronounced Day of the Bulgarian army with a decision of the Bulgarian Cabinet in 1993. Since 1998 it is being marked as a national holiday.
Saint George the Victorious (Pobedonosets), canonized by the Church because of his brave deeds, is usually painted on icons as riding a white horse with his lance stabbed in the throat of a beast - the dragon. Legend has it that the dragon used to attack the shepherds and their sheep and steal a sheep or a lamb. The shepherds were desperate. Then St. George appeared and killed the dragon.
A special military parade in Sofia marked the Army's valour day. Bulgarian units that took part in peacekeeping missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo also marched at Alexander Batemberg Square.
Different kinds of military planes and helicopters hovered in the sky. May 6, 2003 also saw the new uniforms of the Bulgarian army that were creatd to meet NATO's standards.
