Patriarch Kirill will pay a visit to Bulgaria from 2 to 4 March to take part in the celebrations of the 140th anniversary of Bulgaria’s liberation from Ottoman domination. The two patriarchs will hold a worship service together in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives for Bulgaria’s liberation in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878 and will meet with Bulgarian public officials.
