On May 10, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church celebrates the 68th anniversary since the restoration of the Bulgarian Patriarchate. "We went through the atheistic regime like martyrs, under the wise leadership of our deceased father and predecessor - Patriarch Maxim", said Patriarch Neophyte in his greeting on the occasion of the anniversary.

"Today we remember all known and unknown priests who managed to preserve the memory of the glorious past of the Bulgarian Church and people during the struggle for spiritual and national independence.", noted Patriarch Neophyte.
