SUMMARY:2012 - May 25 @ 7:30pm - Celebration of May 24th - Bulgarian Education and Culture\, and Slavonic Literature Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, May 25th at 7:30pm to celebrate the Bulgarian Education and Culture\, and Slavonic Literature Day. We will start out with a performance by Bulgarian-American children and then continue with Bulgarian music and dances. \nFeel free to bring snacks/food to share with everyone and don’t forget your dancing shoes. \n  \nWhy do we celebrate May 24th? \nMay 24 is the Day Of Slavonic Alphabet\, Bulgarian Enlightenment and Culture.

Since 1857 this day has been celebrated every year in Plovdiv\, Tsarigrad\, Shumen and Lom and it was no by accident that May 11 was chosen – this is the common Church Holiday of the two Saints. \n24th of May is a Day that has no analogue among the other nations – the Day of literature\, enlightenment\, culture.
