On May 31, Patriarch Daniil is celebrating the Holy Liturgy at the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Learn about the significance of Pentecost – the birthday of the Church.

Solemn Liturgy for Pentecost

On May 31, Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil will preside over the festive liturgy for Pentecost at the Patriarchal Cathedral "St. Alexander Nevsky". The arrival of His Holiness is scheduled for 9:00 AM, and the Holy Liturgy will begin at 9:30 AM.

"We invite Orthodox Christians to take part in the solemn liturgy through prayer," the Bulgarian Patriarchate urges.

What do we celebrate on Pentecost?

Pentecost is one of the most important Christian holidays, celebrated 50 days after Easter. According to theologian Prof. Ivan Zhelev, the day marks the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.

  • Historical event: The apostles and the Virgin Mary gathered in Jerusalem when a sound like a mighty wind was heard.
  • Tongues of fire: The Holy Spirit appeared over those present in the form of tongues of fire.
  • Gift of tongues: The apostles began to speak in different languages, preaching the Word of God among all nations.

This day is considered the birthday of the Church, as after the fervent sermon of the Apostle Peter, three thousand people believed and were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
