Today, the third Sunday after Easter, day of the Holy Myrrhbearers, a new cathedral church is being consecrated in Lovech, the Saints Cyril and Methodius, an important event for the Lovech diocese. A cathedral church was last consecrated in Vidin 90 years ago.
The consecration, conducted by Gavriil, metropolitan bishop of Lovech will be followed by a holy liturgy conducted by Patriarch Neophyte and all metropolitan bishops of the Holy Synod.
“The construction of the church started in 2005 and cost more than 4 million Leva, money raised from donations,” said Gavriil, metropolitan bishop of Lovech. The church is 25 metres high and covers an area of 850 sq. meters. The frescoes are the work of icon-painter Vladimir Avramov.
