Saint Nicholas, the Wonderworker

Bulgarian Orthodox Information about Saint Nicholas

Part of the Saint Nicholas Page honoring Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker

Bulgaria was the first Slavic nation to accept Christianity. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church (see also Bulgarian Orthodox Church, really in Bulgarian,) like the Greek Orthodox Church and other national Orthodox Churches in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, fell under the hand of the Islamic Ottoman Empire, where it remained for about 500 years. Additional Bulgarian sites may be found in the Saint Nicholas pages about the Orthodox Church in America, Bulgarian Diocese.

Interesting sites

A description of the book THE MIRACLES OF SAINT NICHOLAS subtitled THE SACRED PLACES OF ST. NICHOLAS IN BULGARIA by Ivan Andrew. Outline, with some interesting analysis of the placement of St. Nicholas monasteries in Bulgaria. Retrieved from Web Archive.
The Bulgarian celebration of Saint Nicholas' Day/Nikulden

Parish pages

I can't find any, owing, perhaps, to the relatively small number of Bulgarian Orthodox chuches in the Americas and Australia.

Return to the St. Nicholas Page.
