March 15th National Holiday In Hungary
"March 15th is our national holiday when we commemorate Revolution and the following War of Independence against the Austrian-Habsburg rule in 1848-49.

This day is one of the most prominent National Holidays in Hungary when people wear tricolor cockades pinned to their clothes and the city is decorated with flags everywhere. We also prepare for this special day with making flags and cockades.
