President Rumen Radev and his wife, Desislava Radeva, attend a concert celebrating the National Awakeners' Day at Bulgaria Hall, the head of State's press secretariat said on Friday. The event was organized by the Sofia Holy Metropolitan with the assistance of the Sofia Municipality. Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil is also among the guests of the event.

"Awakening is a unique, entirely Bulgarian spiritual category - a word that has gathered in itself the wisdom and spiritual strength of our people, the centuries-old aspiration for progress and freedom," Radev said earlier in the day in his address on the occasion of the holiday.

"Awakeners are the carriers of culture, morality and humane values of the society. An awakener is not always a man of intellectual labour and can be anyone who by words and deeds brings enlightenment to others and humbly serves his nation," he added.
