The Assumption of the Virgin Mary cathedral church in Haskovo has opened doors for public worship.
It is the oldest church in the town, built in the years of Ottoman domination. It was consecrated in 1837 with a great deal of ceremony. After a two-year overhaul, the 182-year old church opened doors on the day of St. John the Baptist.
The iconostasis, the work of master craftsmen from the famed Debursko school, has been restored. Iconographer Hristo Nikolov from Veliko Turnovo restored all icons in the church, as well as the altar, which now have gold plating.
