Russian Embassy Church

Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Temple "St. Nicholas"
Bulgaria, Sofia
The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is located in the center of Sofia next to another "Russian" temple - Alexander Nevsky. The foundation stone was laid in 1907, but construction was completed in 1913. The temple is a rectangular building, at the entrance of which there is a ceramic panel depicting St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The main dome is covered with glazed tiles and crowned with a gilded dome with a cross. On the majolica iconostasis, brought from St. Petersburg, there are copies made from the icons of the Vladimir Cathedral in Kyiv.

The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is simply called the "Russian Church" by the Bulgarians. This is a small but beautiful church. Here rests the Monk Seraphim, who is revered by both Russians and Bulgarians. The tomb is located to the left of the main entrance on the lower level. It is customary to write notes with requests and leave them at the tomb. It is crowded inside, there are a lot of icons depicting St. Nicholas. There is also a good icon shop here, where we bought an icon for ourselves.
