With festive events throughout the country and in the Bulgarian spiritual space abroad, Bulgarians celebrate today the Day of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, a celebration of the Bulgarian alphabet, enlightenment, culture and Slavic literature. 


The culmination of the celebration in Sofia was the festive procession in which students from many schools of Sofia took part, which ended with a ceremony in front of the National Library and the monument to the holy brother Sts. Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Slavic script. 

The ceremony was attended by President Rumen Radev who said: 


"There is one day in the year when Bulgaria looks the way many of us want to see it. There is one holiday that we do not argue about. On the day of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, we abandon the trivial discussions, poses and titles. We walk together in the processions.... On May 24, all Bulgarians have an opportunity to feel the comfort of our native language, we return to it as our home, even when we are alone in our thoughts or far from our homeland. Let us not forget that we live in our language and it lives through us. We all arrange this single common home for us."
