The Hero of Maternal Glory Medal is a Bulgarian honorary title awarded to mothers who gave birth to and raised ten or more children. It was established by a decree of the Presidium of the First National Assembly on December 13, 1950, and until June 9, 1952. Originally named Hero Of Maternal Glory, this award was renamed Mother Heroine on 9 June 1952.
The medal is the sixth of ten honorary titles in the award system of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. The change of the original name was dictated by the establishment of the three-degree Mother’s Glory Order, which has a different status of the honorary title.
