The beneficent fire in Bulgaria, the fresh one is from Romania
The distribution of the Blessed Fire, preserved from the year, began in Sofia. This year it takes place in the Synodal Chapel “St. Tsar Boris-Mihail”.
The priests who received the Blessed Fire will take it to their dioceses to be taken to the evening service on Holy Saturday, after which Christ’s Resurrection will be known at midnight.
Among the first to come to take from the Fire of Grace was Subdeacon Dimitar from the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Sofia. The feeling is indescribable, there is no analogue, no comparison, it is unearthly, he said after receiving the Blessed Fire.
This is no ordinary flame. Contact with these dimensions makes a person tremble, even the subdeacon.
This year the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church – Bulgarian Patriarchate decided not to send a delegation for the Blessed Fire to the Holy City of Jerusalem to win unfavorable circumstances.
However, the beneficent fire from Jerusalem will arrive tonight in Ruse from the Romanian city of Giurgiu, the Ruse diocese announced.
The priests will travel to Giurgiu until tonight, and from there you will take a piece of the fire that arrived from the airport in Bucharest from Jerusalem.
In the area of the Danube Bridge border checkpoint near Ruse, the Blessed Fire will be met by priests from other parts of the Ruse diocese, as well as from Silistra and Varna. “Traditionally, the Ruse diocese takes the Blessed Fire from Giurgiu, and the reason is the proximity,” the diocese investigated.
