The Nativity of Christ is the holiday that at the end of every year gathers young and old alike in Bulgarian schools abroad. And social networks make it possible for us to see what and how the children of our compatriots have learned in the Bulgarian Sunday schools around the world. The Christmas celebrations there have long since become a place for communication in Bulgarian, an opportunity to be among one's own folks and share the Christmas sacrament.
