We celebrate the memory of all Bulgarian saints

published on 6/18/23 12:45 PM

On the second Sunday after Pentecost, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors all the saints who have lived in Bulgarian lands since the first century. They were Christians of different nationalities Thracians, Slavs and Bulgarians, and others simply residing in Bulgarian lands.

The newly martyred who suffered for the faith during the Ottoman times are also commemorated, such as Euthymius of Tarnovo, Cyprian Tsamblak, Metropolitan of Kiev and Moscow, Sts. Pimen and Kozma Zografski, Paisius of Hilendar, Sophronius of Vratsa, the newly martyred of Sofia - Nichola and three martyrs with the name of Georgi, the martyrs of Gabrovo - Damascene, Lazar, Onufriy, etc.

There are many saints of Bulgarian descent whose names have not been preserved. Today in Bulgaria we celebrate all of them - known and unknown.
