On the festive Day of Sofia for all the citizens of the Bulgaria capital city, we remind you a song that has become a real hit over the years – “Vyara, Nadezha, Lyubov” (Faith, Hope, Love).

As known, on September 17 the Bulgarian Orthodox Church pays homage to the memory of St. Sophia and her daughters Faith, Hope and Love, who died in martyrdom in 126, defending their Christian faith. Sophia means wisdom - a symbol of God, and faith, hope and love are spiritual qualities that every good and wise person strengthens all his life.

This aspiration is also the inspiration for the song's creators. The author of the music and the arrangement is Kristian Boyadzhiev, the lyrics are by the song performer - pop singer Michal Yonchev.
