Bulgaria marks Wednesday 102 years since the legendary Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising, organized to fight the fractioning of the country.
The 1878 Berlin Congress preceded the rebellion.
It broke in 1903, on the day when the Holy Prophet Iliya is honoured - "Ilinden."
In Bulgaria, this is also Name's Day for those named Iliya, Iliyan or Iliyana.
In Bulgarian folklore, the face of Prophet Iliya is a hybrid of Christian and pagan mythology. He is believed to be the master of summer storms, hail, rain, thunder and dew.
Icons usually picture him riding in a gold-plated chariot, whith four white horses in harness.
National fairs and celebrations all across the country will mark the holiday.
