Competitions „About the Letters“ in the Romany Quarter of Stara Zagora
- We began with reading „About the Letters“ (9-th century Bulgarian treatise)
- Game „Composing words“
Several competitions named “About the Letters” we performed in the Romany quarter of Stara Zagora at 22 May. At 24 may in Bulgaria is a national feast – Day of the Bulgarian writing and culture, devoted to the great deed of Cyril and Methodius and their disciples.
“About the Letters” is a medieval Bulgarian treatise from 9-th century, defending the right of the Bulgarians to use liturgy in their own language and alphabeth. The alphabet Cyrillic was created in Bulgaria by the disciples of Cyril and Methodius, who were banned from Great Moravia and all of them were accepted by the Bulgarian king Boris (Cyril and Methodius themselves translated the liturgy, but in another alphabet – glagolitsa).
- From here the kids took letter for the words
- Several teams ready for the baton „About the Letters“
Just like those disciples, the founders of our foundation have come from the heir country of Great Moravia – Czech. With the similar mission they work in the Roma quarter of Stara Zagora – to educate the children there.
The competitions were preceded by reading of “Alphabet Prayer” by Konstantin from Preslav (one of the mentioned disciples, again 9-th century) and a fragment of the Bulgarian Movie “Boris I, showing the acceptance of the disciples by the Bulgarian king. After several games, it was time for the main competition – baton “About the letters”. It had been announced as a lap around the quarter with a baton running and reading of consequent fragments of the treatise, but a forecast for a stormy weather made us reform it only in the school playground.
- There were prizes for everyone, but the biggest were for the three winners
- Reading of fragment from „About the Letters“
Divided in 5 teams, the kids were competing in running and reading of the text. Indeed, a sudden heavy rain interrupted the competition, but we already had enough scores from all of the games to have the winners. There were prizes for every kid, but biggest were for the three winners.
