Marisol in Slovakia

Marisol landed safely in Slovakia, but unfortunately her magical carpet was destroyed.  

    It remained only a few pieces of paper. She knew that she will need them, so Marisol put

    them in her pocket.

      She found out that people in Slovakia celebrate the Day of Cyril and 

   Methodious – the scholars who created the alphabet. It is celebrated on 5^th July. 

   Today Saints Cyril and Methodius Day is a national holiday. This year, it is 1,150years

   since      the   arrival of Cyril and Methodius to Great Moravia. This anniversary

   is an important international event.  On this occasion, various projects are

   running throughout the year 2013 – exhibitions, conferences, lectures, seminars,  

    concerts, religious services, educational and interactive programmes for children

   and youth.

Marisol visited an exhibition of artworks of our  students.

On the way to school. It was too hot, so children bought Marisol an ice cream. It was so delicious.

Mission in Slovakia

Marisol was searching for the plant she needs for the magical potion. It grows on the biggest river island in Europe. The island is an important reservoir of drinking water and an agricultural region. 

She was looking for hawthorn that grows  only in these forests.  Marisol easily found it and put it in the paper basket she  made from  pieces of paper  hidden in the pocket.

 So the magical paper carpet was changed into the paper basket.

   Marisol’s mission in Slovakia was complete and she can continue her journey to Italy.
