The Bulgarian Orthodox Church marks the Sunday of all Bulgarian saints, which is the newest holiday in the church calendar, first marked in 1954. On the second Sunday after Pentecost, Christians remember all saints and martyrs who lived on Bulgarian lands. Actually, there are 104 Bulgarian saints, as 87 of them are martyrs, but there were also many who sacrificed themselves for preserving Christianity and whose names are still unknown these days. Bulgarian Patriarch Neophyte has served a liturgy in the Saints Cyril and Methodius church in Sofia, where a number of believers gathered.
