A crowded procession in support of the introduction of the subject “Virtues and Religions” in schools took place in the center of Sofia. It was organized by civil organizations with the blessing of the Holy Synod.
At the beginning, Patriarch Daniil served a prayer service in the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. The procession passed through central streets of the capital to St. Nedelya Square, where it ended with a prayer service.
“The Bulgarian school was born from the church,” said the Bulgarian Patriarch and added: “Thank you for coming to support the initiative of the Ministry of Education and we support Minister Krasimir Valchev for the understanding and courage to take up this cause and to restore the rightful place of this subject in the curriculum.”
They recalled that, at the proposal of the Ministry of Education and Science, for the first time since 1944 parents would be given the freedom to choose whether their children should study the subject "Religion" at school.
