Mourning Day in Bulgaria

Yesterday  , on  September 6 2009, we are marking the 124th anniversary of the unification of  our country Bulgaria. All official celebrations were canceled after the Ohrid lake tragedy – a day earlier 15 Bulgarian tourists drowned in the Lake of  Ohrid in Macedonia The Bulgarians aboard the ship called Ilinden were on their way to the Saint Naum monastery.  The ship sank rapidly in just seven meters  of water, about 300 meters  from the shore in the worst boat accident ever to happen on Ohrid Lake. All passengers on Ilinden were Bulgarians, 40 survived the accident.  September 7 was declared a day of national mourning in honor of all the people who died on Saturday

I am disturbed from the words of a Bulgarian bishop who claims God’s wrath over Madonna concert caused Ohrid Tragedy ! The Plovdiv Metropolitan, Nikolay told the medias that God had punished Bulgarians over partying too much on August 29 (the day of the concert of Madonna in Bulgaria ) instead of mourning for Saint John the Baptist.  Totally nonsense..I am just speechless , he should be ashmed of his words !

Anyway , let the people Rest in Peace ! I feel sorry for them and their families.
