Balgarianovinite.com The all-school anthem Varvi, Narode Vazrodeni rang out in the Greek capital of Athens on Sunday, May 24 – the Day of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius, of the Bulgarian Alphabet, Education and Culture, and of Slavic Literature. In the presence of students and parents at Attiki Square, the Bulgarian Sunday School named after Cyril and Methodius celebrated the holiday with a ceremony and a programme of music, dance, and recitals.
Mariana Petrova, Bulgaria’s cultural attache in Greece, addressed the teachers, students, and their parents, noting that May 24 is one of the most important Bulgarian holidays. She said: “A celebration of the word, of spirituality, and of the pursuit of enlightenment and self-improvement. This is the day on which we honour with gratitude the great work of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius. A work of immense significance not only for the Bulgarian people but for the entire Slavic culture. The alphabet they created has become a spiritual bridge between nations and a symbol of cultural identity, enlightenment, and spiritual elevation. On this festive day, I express my sincere gratitude to all teachers, parents, and cultural figures who, with dedication and perseverance, preserve the Bulgarian language, traditions, and spirituality beyond the borders of Bulgaria. Thanks to your efforts, Bulgarian Sunday schools continue to be vibrant centres of knowledge, culture, and national memory, fostering in young people a sense of belonging and love for their homeland.”
Petrova referred to Eurovision 2026 victor Dara, as she urged young Bulgarians to chase their dreams with a strong will, discipline, and with love for Bulgaria in their hearts.
Also in attendance at the celebration were Martin Dimov, the Bulgarian Consul in Athens; Gencho Banev, a professor of Bulgarian language, literature, and culture at the University of Athens; and representatives of the Bulgarian Sunday schools and the Bulgarian community in Athens.
