Spiritual Patrons: Two Saints in the Orthodox Calendar

The Orthodox calendar for June 26, 2025 marks a significant day for religious communities with the feast of two remarkable saints – David of Thessaloniki and David of Bulgaria. Their lives become a source of inspiration for believers who gather in temples today to pay homage and immerse themselves in spiritual heritage.

In the Sofia temple "St. St. Cyril and Methodius" and the Plovdiv church "St. Virgin Mary", priests will conduct solemn services. Morning liturgies include special readings telling about the exploits of the saints, who are a standard for monastic life and prayer discipline.

The focus of festive discussions falls on the call to inner humility and spiritual self-improvement. Believers will be encouraged to follow the example of Saints David, whose dedication and piety continue to inspire generations of Christians.
