1. Fri, 01 Jan 2027New Year's Day

   Bulgaria’s supplied holiday calendar lists New Year’s Day (Нова година) on Friday, 1 January 2027, as a public holiday. In the Gregorian calendar, 1 January begins the new calendar year. That date is widely used for New Year observances around the world, though the supplied material does not document particular Bulgarian customs or how individuals observe it. This entry confirms the date and classification shown in the calendar without making claims about local traditions.

2. Wed, 03 Mar 2027Bulgaria’s Liberation from the Ottoman Empire

   The supplied Bulgarian calendar lists Bulgaria’s Liberation from the Ottoman Empire (Ден на Освобождението на България от османско иго) on Wednesday, 3 March 2027, as a public holiday. Its name presents the date as a commemoration of Bulgaria’s liberation from Ottoman rule. The calendar establishes the listed date and classification, but the supplied material does not detail the historical events associated with the commemoration, its legal basis, or how it is marked. Those details would benefit from confirmation in an authoritative Bulgarian source.

3. Fri, 30 Apr 2027Good Friday

   Good Friday (Разпети петък) falls on Friday, 30 April 2027, and is listed as a public holiday in Bulgaria. In Christian observance, the day commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus and forms part of Holy Week. The supplied context notes that Christians observe it in different ways, but it does not describe specifically Bulgarian practices. The calendar supports the Bulgarian date and public-holiday listing; it does not establish which services or customs are followed by particular communities.

4. Sat, 01 May 2027Holy Saturday

   The supplied Bulgarian calendar lists Holy Saturday (Велика събота) on Saturday, 1 May 2027, as a public holiday. In the Christian calendar, Holy Saturday falls between Good Friday and Easter Sunday; the supplied context describes it as a day when Christians prepare for Easter. The excerpt also notes that some Christian traditions hold an Easter Vigil, but it does not establish which practices are customary in Bulgaria. This entry therefore gives the listed Bulgarian date and the broadly supported place of the day in Holy Week.

5. Sat, 01 May 2027Labour Day

   Labour Day (Ден на труда) is listed in Bulgaria on Saturday, 1 May 2027, as a public holiday. The supplied context explains that Labour Day is linked with International Workers’ Day in many countries and is associated with the labour movement and its achievements. It also describes the holiday’s broader historical links to workers’ campaigns. That general context does not document Bulgarian-specific events or customs, so this entry limits itself to the date and the international meaning supported by the supplied material.

6. Sun, 02 May 2027Easter Sunday

   The supplied Bulgarian calendar lists Easter Sunday (Великден) on Sunday, 2 May 2027, as a public holiday. The context excerpt attached to this entry discusses Palm Sunday rather than Easter Sunday, so it does not substantiate the meaning or observance of this particular holiday. The calendar supports the Bulgarian listing, date, and public classification, but the supplied evidence does not describe local Easter customs or services. This entry avoids treating the Palm Sunday material as evidence about Easter.

7. Mon, 03 May 2027Easter Monday

   Easter Monday (Велики понеделник) is listed in Bulgaria on Monday, 3 May 2027, as a public holiday. The supplied context describes it as the second day of Eastertide, the period following Easter Sunday. It also notes that in Eastern Christianity the day is the second day of Bright Week. This general religious context does not establish how Bulgarian communities observe the date, but the calendar supports the Bulgarian holiday name, date, and public classification.

8. Thu, 06 May 2027St. George's Day, and the Bulgarian Army’s Day

   The supplied Bulgarian calendar lists 6 May 2027 as a public holiday under the combined name St. George’s Day and the Bulgarian Army’s Day (Гергьовден, Ден на храбростта и Българската армия). The local name likewise joins the religious observance of Gergyovden with the Day of Courage and the Bulgarian Army. The calendar establishes that these observances are listed together on this date, but the supplied evidence does not describe their history, official ceremonies, or regional customs.

9. Mon, 24 May 2027Bulgarian Education and Culture, and Slavic Script Day

   The supplied Bulgarian calendar lists 24 May 2027 as a public holiday under the name Bulgarian Education and Culture, and Slavic Script Day (Ден на Българската просвета и култура и на славянската писменост). The name itself identifies the observance’s stated themes: education, culture, and Slavic writing. The calendar supports the date and listing, but the supplied evidence does not explain the holiday’s history, its present official wording, or how it is marked. Those details should be checked against an authoritative Bulgarian source.

10. Mon, 06 Sep 2027Unification Day

    Unification Day (Ден на Съединението) is listed in Bulgaria on Monday, 6 September 2027, as a public holiday. The supplied calendar establishes the date and name, while the attached context excerpt only indicates that a Bulgarian Unification Day exists among several events with similar names. It does not explain the Bulgarian historical event commemorated, so this entry does not add a specific historical account or local traditions. An authoritative Bulgarian history or government source could clarify those details.

11. Wed, 22 Sep 2027Independence Day

    Bulgaria’s Independence Day (Ден на независимостта на България) is listed on Wednesday, 22 September 2027, as a public holiday. The supplied context describes independence days generally as annual commemorations of a nation’s independence or statehood. It does not give Bulgaria’s specific historical background or describe local observances. The calendar supports the Bulgarian date and public-holiday listing, while the broader context helps explain the category without establishing details unique to Bulgaria.

12. Fri, 24 Dec 2027Christmas Eve

    Christmas Eve (Бъдни вечер) is listed in Bulgaria on Friday, 24 December 2027, as a public holiday. The supplied context describes Christmas Eve broadly as the evening or day before Christmas, and notes that Christmas celebrations in some Christian traditions begin on that evening. It does not establish which practices are followed in Bulgaria, so no local meal, custom, or ritual is asserted here. The calendar supports the Bulgarian date and public classification; the accompanying context supplies only general background.

13. Sat, 25 Dec 2027Christmas Day

    The supplied Bulgarian calendar lists Christmas Day (Рождество Христово) on Saturday, 25 December 2027, as a public holiday. The attached context identifies Christmas as the Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. It also describes Christmas Eve customs in various places, but does not establish Bulgarian-specific practices; those details are not assumed here. This entry records the date and public classification in the supplied Bulgarian calendar and uses the context only for the general religious meaning of Christmas.

14. Sun, 26 Dec 2027Christmas Day

    The supplied Bulgarian calendar separately lists Sunday, 26 December 2027, as Christmas Day (Рождество Христово) and classifies it as a public holiday. It also lists 25 December under the same name. The attached context concerns Christmas Eve and provides only general background about Christmas, so it does not clarify the specific Bulgarian naming or status of 26 December relative to 25 December. The date and label here reflect the supplied calendar; the distinction between the two listings remains unresolved.
