On 24 April 2026, at the Sarafs’ House, Samokov’s regional centre of the ‘13 Centuries of Bulgaria’ National Endowment Fund, the Stanislav Dospevski Primary School organised a lesson in patriotism.
The dramatisation of ‘Rada’s Trials’, a chapter from ‘Under the Yoke’, the classic novel by the Patriarch of Bulgarian Literature Ivan Vazov, was at the heart of the educational event, which was held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising. This significant date in Bulgarian history was marked applaudably by everyone present.
Pupils and teachers from the Stanislav Dospevski Primary School, public figures, and a spiritual representative of the Samokov Patriarchate took part in the performance.
