For the first time the president of Bulgaria will take oath of office on the Gospel and holy cross, not only the Constitution. Georgi Parvanov will do it on January 19 at a special ceremony in the National Assembly, said Bishop Neophyte from the Holy Synod. Patriarch Maxim and the metropolitans thoroughly read the protocol sent from the President's Office. "Georgi Parvanov was baptized, he is of the Orthodox communion, for this reason we are obliged to put the Gospel and the Cross in front of him", the bishop explained. According to the official protocol the new president does not have to read an excerpt from the Gospel. For the ceremony the church fathers have chosen an exceptionally valuable silver-encased Gospel printed in Istanbul in 1926.
