An Archangel All Souls' Day memorial service was conducted by Patriarch Daniil at the military ossuary museum at the central Sofia cemetery. In his message he stated that today we honour the memory of all of our soldiers: “They are an example to us all, sentinels, who, with their souls, protect our homeland, showing us the way and helping us tread their path.”

The memorial service was attended by President Rumen Radev, the President of the 50th National Assembly Raya Nazaryan, Defence Minister Atanas Zapryanov, Chief of Defence Admiral Emil Eftimov, senior officers from the Bulgarian army.

Tribute was paid, with a military ritual, to the memory of the military servicemen killed in the wars, in peace keeping operations and in the line of duty in peacetime.
