On 17 September the Bulgarian Capital celebrates St. Sofia Day. On this day the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Martyrs Sophia and her three daughters Faith, Hope and Love.
It starts in the morning with an official ceremony of hoisting the flag of Sofia and blessing the water in front of Saint Sophia Basilica. The Mayor of Sofia then greets the residents and visitors.
Since its liberation from Ottoman Rule, the Sofia Municipality has been governed by 57 mayors. They were either elected or appointed, in accordance with the urban municipality acts and regulations, effective at the respective time.
Most of the Sofia mayors were well-known political figures, before or after their time in the City Hall office. Many of them were ministers, Members of Parliament, diplomats, military leaders, industrialists, bankers, doctors, engineers, scholars, publicists etc. Four of them - D. Petkov, T. Zhivkov, St. Sofiyanski and Boyko Borisov were also heads of the Bulgarian government in different eras.
Among all the mayors, D. Petkov, General V. Vazov and Eng. I. Ivanov are considered to be the true builders of modern Sofia.
