On January 20th the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honours Saint Euthymius, Patriarch of Turnovo.
Born around the year 1327, at a very early age Euthymius became a monk at Kilifarevo monastery, a literary hub of major importance to Medieval Bulgaria and the Slavonic peoples. He undertook an important task – to improve Bulgarian orthography on the basis of the language of the brothers St. Cyril and Methodius, efforts which he continued after being elected patriarch in 1375.
He was canonized by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in the 15th century and is honoured by the other Orthodox churches as well.
