"This week we held an Easter egg workshop together with the team of the National Ethnographic Museum", Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev wrote on Facebook. It was important for me to organize this event because I believe that traditions should not be just a memory. They are a living energy that connects us and gives us a foundation, he points out in his post today.
Terziev participated in the beeswax painting of eggs and admits that this requires serious patience. The feeling of creating something with your own hands is priceless, Terziev adds.
"The hall was filled with children, laughter and colors. I saw how the technique of our ancestors came to life in their hands and how it became theirs. This is also my commitment - for the municipality to be an open space for such meetings", writes the mayor of the capital. And he adds that he wants to create more opportunities in which our children not only hear about our history, but also make it part of their present.
I wish you a happy Easter, Vasil Terziev concludes his publication.
On Holy Thursday, according to tradition, the Holy Metropolitanate of Sofia for another year organizes a traditional Easter egg painting, combined with sports games, under the title “Holiday of the Orthodox Spirit and Traditions“.
