Professor Nichoritis

The topic of the sacred work of Saints Cyril and Methodius is of interest to many – from academic minds to ordinary people – across countries.

I was delighted to watch on Bulgarian National TV a bunch of prominent  Bulgarian experts and Professor Konstantinos Nichoritis (Department of Balkan, Slavic and Eastern Studies / University of Macedonia – Greece). The 30-minute episodes in Bulgarian can be watched at the following links:

• The miracle of the Saint Brothers in Rome
• Tracking the sacred Bulgarian language
• Who inspired Vasil Levsky for his monk’s name
• Conversation on the topic of the Cyrillic alphabet

St. George Monastery

Saint George Monastery in Kremikovtsi (Sofia) was founded during the Second Bulgarian Empire (12th–14th century). The monastery includes two churches. The older medieval church is notable for its highly regarded 15th-century frescoes.

Erul

Erul is a small village in western Bulgaria with incredible views. It is only an hour’s drive away from the capital Sofia.
