The story

Story · St Nicholas the Miracle-Maker

  • en
  • nl

You're standing on Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard in the heart of Sofia, in front of the Russian Church. Its official name is the Church of St Nicholas the Miracle-Maker, but hardly anyone calls it that. First, look up. Five domes, every one of them coated in gold. They shine above the street and tell you straight away where this church comes from.
