SUMMARY:2016 - May 21 @ 6:30pm - Celebration of May 24 - Bulgarian Education and Culture\, and Slavonic Literature Day at Alfa
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 21th 2016\, 6:30 pm – 11:00pm  \nAlfa Art Gallery invites you to join us in celebrating May 24th – Bulgarian Education and Culture\, and Slavonic Literature Day. The event will take place at 108 Church Street\, New Brunswick NJ 08901 on Saturday\, May 21st 2016 at 6:30 pm. \nAlfa has the pleasure of presenting the dance group “Kopriva” performing Bulgarian folk dances and “Alfa BG” band who will perform a selection of Bulgarian music. \nThis event has no admission fee and is open to the public. Feel free to bring food and snacks to share with everyone\, and don’t forget your dancing shoes! \nWhy do we celebrate May 24th? \nThis day honors the Saint Brothers\, Kiril and Methody\, founders of the Slavonic Alphabet. Since 1857\, this day has been celebrated every year. May 24th is a holiday in itself\, a day of spiritual uprising overviewing Bulgaria’s cultural and scientific achievements. Looking upon the letters written by Kiril and Methody as well as their translations of the liturgical books\, shows the fight to protect the right to honor God in their own language. It is a historical significance to the development of the Bulgarian nation and becomes part of the general human idea for equality. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBulgarian music band Alfa BG \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDance group Kopriva \n
