Dear compatriots,

May 24th is the most Bulgarian holiday - a day of education, culture, and the Slavic script. The day of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius!

Our people have always strived for spiritual enlightenment. The Bulgarian alphabet is a civilizational contribution to the world cultural treasury.

Our strife for enlightenment is the light that has illuminated our path even in the most difficult and dark of times. It has preserved our identity.

Today we express our deepest respect and appreciation for those who preserve and develop the Bulgarian culture and spirit, to teachers, scientists, and artists.

MOEW congratulates all Bulgarians on the occasion of the holiday of May 24th!
