Believers from all religions in Bulgaria are getting ready for the visit of Pope John Paul II in May next year. The Israeli Religious Council has planned a meeting of all Jews from the country with Pope John Paul II, chairman Yossif Levi announced. The meeting will take place in the Synagogue in Sofia. However, the rules do not allow the presence of a clerical from another religion in the synagogue, and for this reason the Pope will attend only the meeting with the believers. For the time being the community considers the possibility of presenting him with the traditional Jewish menorah. An icon of the saint brothers Cyril and Methodius painted by synodycal painter Nikolai Shalahov will be the most likely gift of Patriarch Maxim for the Pope, metropolitans from the Synod said. We shall welcome him according to all rules of the Bulgarian hospitality although the invitation hasn't been extended by the church but by the state, Metropolitan Neophit explained. As for the Chief Mufty's Office, it will start preparations for the meeting after the details of protocol are specified.
