Хубаво, че отец Иоанн е дошъл лично. Особено ми хареса как пожела на първокласниците да се научат да слушат учителите си – точно това им трябва от първия ден. Благодаря за новината, радвам се, че и в Наро-Фоминск така започват годината.

I agree, Daniela, Father John's personal presence always adds weight. His words to the first-graders were especially accurate - if they don't get used to listening from the first day, then it's more difficult. And what do you think, do some schools in Ruse also invite a priest on September 1?

Well said, Daniela, right about listening - from day one you can see if it's going to go smoothly. Here in Varna, several schools invite a priest, but not all. Have you ever seen such an ambulance with a father in Ruse?
