Independence Day

Today is our independence day. This is the church "SS. Forty Martyrs", where 100 years ago the full independence of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire was proclaimed by the head of state - the crowned King Ferdinand, he promulgated also himself a king of an independent country.
The church is not in Sofia, it is in Bulgarian old capital Veliko Tarnovo.
