24 May, The Day Of Slavonic Alphabet, Bulgarian Enlightenment and Culture

Dear, friends and partners!
24th May is a Day that has no analogue among the other nations - the Day of literature, enlightenment, culture. It’s a holiday of spiritual rising, perfection striving for scientific and cultural achievements. The letters created by Saints Cyril and Methodius, their translations of the liturgical books, their fight to protect the rights of all nations to do honour of God in their own languages have a historical significance to Bulgarian national developing and its prosperity. Their life work is human, democratic, and Slavonic. It becomes part of the general human idea for equality at the spiritual field.
Nowadays Cyrillic Alphabet is used not only by Bulgarian people, but also by Serbians, Montenegrins, Russians, Belorussians, as well as by many others non Slavonic nations - about 200 million people/Wikipedia/.

In reference this day, Darina and I prepared something interesting with our pupils. You can watch the videos and listen to the great song "Върви Народе Възродени", the Anthem of Cyril and Methodius. Hope that you will like it!
Kind regards, Bulgarian Team

March ahead, o revived people,
To your future march ahead,
Forge your destiny of glory,
By the might of letters led.

March to powerful knowledge,
Let your duty be your guide!
Join the host of other peoples,
God is always by your side.

Go! For like the sun is knowledge.
On the soul it sheds its rays.
Go! A people shall not perish,
When true learning lights its days.

Once unknown and obscure,
Take your place in History.
Let your spirit rule the countries
You subdued in victory...
