On July 1, 2025, the Orthodox community gathered to honor the first anniversary of Patriarch Daniel's election. The solemn event coincided with the day of the twelve apostles and was widely covered by the official information channels of the Bulgarian Patriarchate.

In his emotional speech, Bishop Isaac of Velbazh revived memories of the memorable moment of enthronement, which took place on June 30, 2024. "The bell's ringing spread the celebration not only through the capital's streets but across the entire Bulgarian land," the clergyman emphasized.

Bishop Isaac's speech was simultaneously a praise and a message to the Orthodox community - both in Bulgaria and beyond its borders. Through his exposition, the spiritual leader emphasized the significance of patriarchal leadership and its role in contemporary spiritual life.

The celebration at the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral symbolizes the continuity and unity of the Orthodox tradition, while also marking an important moment in the contemporary religious history of Bulgaria.
