Our Sister Church in Bulgaria Is Under Attack | 'THE LIGHT OF BULGARIA' PREMIERES JULY 14

Watch “The Light of Bulgaria,” a new Orthodox Christian documentary, on July 14, 2026, on the Saint Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary's YouTube Channel. At a pivotal moment in its history, the Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Bulgaria stands at a crossroads. As it seeks to preserve its legal recognition as a religious organization, it faces sustained opposition from the Patriarchate of Bulgaria and increasing pressure from state authorities. Its legal status has come under formal challenge, with public and institutional figures calling for its recognition to be revoked, placing the community’s future in Bulgaria in serious jeopardy. The opposition has gone as far as to accuse the Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Bulgaria of being a threat to national security. The Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Bulgaria and the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece are Sister Churches in full communion with each other. May this documentary help inform a wider audience about the ongoing struggle the Faithful in Bulgaria are experiencing.
