The church of Saint Nikolay Mirlikiyski (Nicholas of Myra) in Sofia, also known as the Russian church, opened doors this morning.
The church remained locked for over a month after three priests – one Russian and two from Belarus - were expelled from Bulgaria, accused of espionage in favour of Russia.
