Monastery of St. George in Pomorie

Monastery of Sveti George
Bulgaria, Pomorie
The monastery of St. George is an Orthodox male monastery founded at the beginning of the 19th century. According to legend, a Bulgarian had a dream that there was a source of miraculous water in this place. He excavated the site and found a bas-relief of St. George. From there water poured out. The Bulgarian told this to his master, Selim, who was suffering from an incurable disease, and he was healed. Selim was baptized and founded a monastery, and the healing water became widely known far beyond Pomorie.

The small monastery of St. George attracts pilgrims with its healing spring (you need to collect miraculous water in a special chapel). But personally, I am attracted to this monastery ...moonshine! It is located in a small room on the ground floor of the monastery cells, right behind the chapel. This is such a colorful colossus in the form of a stove with two copper flasks on top. Here...uh...the staff of the monastery brew mash, from which they make excellent monastery brandy (not only grape but also fig), which is sold right there, bottled.
