The performances given on the central stage involved a large number of artist groups and singers, IPN reports.
“The day when the Patron Saint of Chisinau is celebrated is a feat day for each of us and for our capital city. Chisinau is our common house and we, the inhabitants of this city, bless the place. We have the best residents, the most beautiful children and the greatest prospects for the future. It is important to wish property to the city and to together achieve this objective. I wish you daily blessing, health and peace in your homes. Let the eyes of our children and young people express happiness. I would like our parents and grandparents to live calmly their old age. I want Chisinau city to develop and to thrive so that when we say that we were born in Chisinau we say it proudly,” mayor Ion Ceban stated in the inauguration of the celebrations.
