ARCHIEPISCOPAL DIVINE SERVICE ON ST. ANDREW'S DAY IN BACHKOVO MONASTERY
 
On today's day, when the Church celebrates the memory of the first appealled
Apostle Andrew, whose spiritual eye, hidden from himself, recognized in Jesus Christ the Savior and Son of God before the carnal has seen him, an Episcopal Holy Liturgy was celebrated in the newly restored All Saints' Church of the Bachkovo Monastery by Bishop Sionii, abbot of the monastery. Congratulating the monastery brothers and the faithful pilgrims on the feast, bishop Sionii first emphasized the holy feat of the Apostle Andrew, who spent his whole life in the service of the Word shining on the cross and accepted the same cross, with the joy of being conformed to Christ, as the crown of his own life!
St. Andrew the Apostle accepted the death of the cross in the town of Patras during the persecutions of Nero, the emperor assumed by the first Christians to be the incarnation of the antichrist!

Support us

The monastic fraternity constantly makes every endeavor to maintain the Cloister of the Holy Virgin at its best condition; this is the condition the cloister really deserves to be in, in order to welcome the thousands of pilgrims that visit it every year, truly beautifully and impress them.
The maintenance of the fund and the restoration of the many unique frescoes, inherited by the holy forefathers, could be quite costly and the monastery does not always manage to cover all the expenses. For this very reason, we turn for help to every Christian and to everyone who values the Bachkovo monastery, to contribute within their means and thus join our efforts.

Every charitable deed will be welcomed with honest gratitude and intercessory prayer in the name of Jesus Christ and the Holy Mother for wellbeing and success of the contributor and their family.
