Bulgarian national celebrations at St. Clare's

24th May is one of the best days in the Bulgarian calendar: time to celebrate Bulgarian culture and the Cyrillic alphabet. All pupils, students and their teachers, together with all people working with the language - writers, journalists, linguists... - commemorate the legacy of Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the third most important European alphabet, and the role of Bulgaria and its literature for the history and culture of the Slavonic people.

This year the four Bulgarian students at St. Clare's are happy to celebrate 24th May with the first ever collection of books in Bulgarian. The collection is still small and consist mainly of books on the language curriculum, but is steadily growing, thanks in some part to the donations of leaving Bulgarian students and teachers.

Happy 24th May!
