I agree that the memory of the Tsarist Days is important, but let's not forget our Bulgarian martyrs of the 20th century. In Sofia, at the church "Sveti Sedmochiselnitsi" we also mention them every year, so that the mistakes are not repeated. If faith is sincere, repentance must be for all, not just for one party.

I agree, Atanas, that we should also remember our Bulgarian martyrs - in "Holy Seven" every year I light a candle for them, especially for those who suffered in the 1950s. Except that repentance is not something that is distributed by nationalities, but by conscience. What do you think, do we talk about them enough in everyday life, outside the church?

I agree, Nikolai, repentance is really on conscience, not on passport. In the workshop, I often think about these martyrs from the 1950s, while fixing a car - how much they were silent and patient without complaining. Do you only light a candle in "Sveti Sedmochiselnitsi" or do you also talk about them with the Sunday school children?

I agree, Vasil, repentance is really on conscience, not on passport. As for me, when I go to the market in Tarnovo, I often think of those martyrs from the 50s - how many of them carried everything on their backs without saying a word. In "Holy Septuagints", we not only light a candle, but with the Sunday school children we look at their icons and talk about how they suffered without complaining. Do you have an icon on the wall in the workshop to remind you of them?
