S. Georgi, built by Constantine. My favorite church in town. I am sorry that I have never coincided with liturgy here.
Sv. Sofia, built several times, but basically by Justinian I, about 550AD. Also sorry to have never coincided with a regular service, though I've seen parts of a wedding...
Cathedral Alexander Nevsky, the seat of the Patriarch of Bulgaria, built 1912. Truly magnificent, but very much of a different era than her older sisters. I failed to catch the golden dome in the above picture, so see below (photo by Harfang, courtesy Wikipedia, CC). I had not visited this one before, but was pleased to make it today in time for daily vespers. It takes a while to cense such a big church...
Thank you again for your prayers, God is very gracious.
For travelers by land, by sea, and by air,
for the sick and the suffering,
for captives and their salvation
let us pray to the Lord.
Господи, помилуй
In Christ,
Papa
Have been praying all week - both for you and Owen and for Mama and everyone back home.
