Balgarianovinite.com The celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising in Panagyurishte began with a religious procession, a ceremony for raising the Bulgarian flag, and a memorial service at the Holy Presentation of the Virgin Mary church. The procession started from the town’s History Museum and was led by one of the sacred relics of the uprising, the Poibrene Cross.
“This is the cross that accompanied the Flying Detachment. We are excited that it will mark the beginning of our festive day. Afterwards, a memorial service is planned at the church Holy Presentation of the Virgin Mary, and after that we continue with a living tableau. With it, we will show the march of statehood that was organized 150 years ago right on these streets,” Panagyurishte Mayor Zhelyazko Gagov told BTA.
“The atmosphere in Panagyurishte is very different. I am extremely happy that many children and young people took part in all the activities and events we are organizing,” he added.
The message that Gagov wants to convey through the celebrations is: “Freedom does not remain silent, because it must revive our memory, and memory is what we are,” he said.
Later in the day, the celebrations will continue with the historical reenactment “Courage and Sacrifice – Panagyurishte 1876″. It will take place at the Apriltsi Memorial Complex. Shortly afterwards, the audio-visual installation “Panagyurishte 1876 – a Sanctuary of the National Spirit!” will be opened at the town’s History Museum.
