"Everybody cherish the hope that the little consecrated crosses will bring health and prosperity to their homes," newspaper sellers said.
Readers of The Standart shared their excitement: "I hope that the cross will help my children, who work abroad; I hope that they will come back home," exclaimed an old woman from Blagoevgrad.
"Even Romanians bought issues of The Standart, led by the desire to have a little cross coming from the heart of the Holy Land," newsmen from Rousse informed.
The newspaper sold by 7 a.m. in the cities of Sofia and Plovdiv.
