A service in the Russian church "St. Nikolay Mirlikiyski“ solemnly honored the memory of Saint Seraphim of Sofia. The service was led by Bishop Gerasim of Melnik in collaboration with priest Vladimir Tishchuk and priests from the Bulgarian and Russian Orthodox churches.

In his speech, Bishop Gerasim expressed his joy to serve on this bright holiday, in which we celebrate the memory of Bishop Seraphim - a heavenly patron of the country, who repeatedly showed his love for the Bulgarian people and was a comfort to the faithful in difficult moments.


After his death, Priest Seraphim continued to care for Orthodox Christians, as seen by the numerous miracles associated with the church. To this day, the flow of believers does not stop and people offer their prayers with the hope of healing.
