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

Erul

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