Visiting places of tolerance It was another fruitful day. We started our journey from St Sofia Church where we read the Edict of Toleration, issued by Galerius 1700 years ago. It put an end to the persecution of Christians and promoted religious tolerance. On our way to the next important place of tolerance, the United Teddy Bears Exhibition, we visited museums and galleries and admired the beauty of our capital. It turned out that the exhibition travels round the world under the same slogan as ours, Art for Tolerance. We found many of the symbols, we drew yesterday, painted on the bears and that made us feel part of the world campaign for tolerance. The exhibits at the National Museum of History introduced our guests to the past of our lands and the journey to our next stop, the Bell Complex of the Peace Banner Assembly, seemed like a bridge from past through present and into the future. There our team members rang the bells to join the sound made by thousands of children before them and raise their voices in support of peace, tolerance and friendship.
