Today is Holy Spirit Monday. Holy Spirit Monday is also the day of Macedonian Bulgarians and the people who lost their lives for their freedom.
Between 1912 and 1918, Bulgaria fought in 3 wars for national unification, which ended with the unjust Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine that required Bulgaria to cede various territories. Vardar Macedonia and Aegean Macedonia, inhabited by Bulgarians, remained outside Bulgaria. Hundreds of thousands were expelled and became refugees. The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) started a struggle for an independent Macedonia, where human rights of Bulgarians would be protected. In 1923, IMRO began to celebrate the Holy Spirit Monday as the Day of Macedonian Bulgarians and the fallen Bulgarian heroes.
