Services will be held at the Nativity church and the St. Ivan (John) of Rila in Sofia today for the health of all people with coronavirus. After that, priests from Sofia, who have contracted and recovered from coronavirus, will enter Covid-wards in hospitals in Sofia to anoint, with chrism, and sprinkle holy water over patients and the entire medical staff.

The initiative, which will go on until 23 December, is taking place with the blessing of Patriarch Neophyte. This is not the first such initiative – on 21 November, Christian family day, priests gave blood to support the efforts of the medical staff to save patients with Covid-19.
