On this Holy Thursday, Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil celebrated the Liturgy of St. Basil at the metropolitan Church of St Nedelya in Sofia.

Holy Thursday commemorates the events surrounding the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with His apostles. During this time, He washed the feet of His disciples, established the Holy Eucharist, delivered His final discourse to the apostles, and offered the High Priestly Prayer. Christ then went with His disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane, where He was arrested and taken into custody to be tried.

While Patriarch Daniil was leading the liturgy, the Sofia Metropolitanate once again organized its traditional Easter egg painting event, combined with sports games, titled "Celebration of the Orthodox Spirit and Traditions". The event took place at St. Nedelya Square.
