At 11 AM on Maundy Thursday, in St. Nedelya square, the Sofia Metropolitanate is organizing the traditional painting of Easter eggs for children from Sofia schools and kindergartens. This will be followed by a procession to St. Sophia church. Everything necessary has been provided.

“All the parents have to do is bring their children, and be ready to get some paint on their hands because all of the 1,000 eggs we are going to paint on that day will then be taken to hospitals. When we have painted the eggs, we are going to leave a basketful of eggs at the grave of His Holiness Patriarch Neophyte,” says Velina Toneva, director of the Parish Centre of the Nativity of Christ church.

From 11 AM until 2 PM, in Crystal garden, Sofia municipality is organizing a charity Easter bazaar with the participation of children and seniors from the socials services institutions.
