History and tradition

About this celebration

Veliko Tarnovo's celebration honours tsar Ivan Asen II's victory at Klokotnitsa in 1230 and the associated Church „Sv. Chetirideset machenitsi“. The municipal account traces town celebrations to 1879, when residents gathered in this church. It therefore remains the historical focal point of the festive 22 March.

Bulgarian original

Празникът на Велико Търново е посветен на победата на цар Иван Асен II при Клокотница през 1230 г. и на свързания с нея храм „Св. Четиридесет мъченици“. Общинският разказ проследява градското честване до 1879 г., когато търновци се събират в този храм. Затова църквата остава историческото средоточие на празничния 22 март.
