Representatives of different religious denominations sent their own message for peace. Six children from different religious communities wore lit torches as a symbol of the victory of the light and peace over darkness and confrontation. Pope Francis called for peace on Earth in his address. This was the last event of the official program of Pope Francis in Bulgaria and he said goodbye to the representatives of other religious denominations on Independence Square. On May 7 Pope Francis departs to the capital of the Republic of North Macedonia-Skopje.
