This evening, I was happy to receive the Bethlehem Light from our scouts and scouts. This precious flame from the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem brings with it a message of peace, love and unity into the pre-Christmas period. I am proud that the Presidential Palace is the first stop for our scouts in Slovakia after they lit the light during the international ecumenical celebration in Vienna. Starting tomorrow morning, it will travel further to people throughout Slovakia and carry its message of humanity, solidarity and mutual understanding. May this symbol remind us all that we are part of one big family in which we are to support each other. I wish this light a blessed journey and a joyful Christmas to all of Slovakia.
