Bulgaria. Order of Cyril and Methodius, 3rd Class
The Order of Cyril and Methodius (Орден „Кирил и Методий“) was established on 13 December 1950 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. It was awarded to Bulgarian and foreign citizens for contributions to science, education and culture, as well as for their role in the cultural development of the Bulgarian people. The 3rd Class was one of the order’s three classes, and the decoration remained in use until 1991.
The insignia depicts Saints Cyril and Methodius, historical figures associated with the development of Slavic writing and the spread of Christianity among Slavic peoples. The order recognised achievements in cultural, scientific and educational fields.
