| Easter Mass Returns to Old Bulgarian Capital after 618 Years |
|
|
An Easter Mass in the old Bulgarian capital of Veliko was served at the Tsarevets fortress for the first time in 618 years.
The mass was on Saturday evening into Sunday outside the walls of the fortress, but within the patriarchy complex since the church in the medieval fortress is not canonized.
The service was led by the Veliko Tarnovo Metropolitan Grigoriy, who distributed the holy fire to the attendees.
The entire ceremony started at 11 pm Saturday. The visitors of Tsarevets walked on a route marked by white ribbons and lit by 120 torches.
The joint idea of the Veliko Tarnovo clergy and the City Hall is to restore the tradition to hold masses at the location, dating from the Second Bulgarian Kingdom.
