On the Feast of St. Stephen, Bishop Tikhon Tiveriopolski became the second vaccinated in Bulgaria after the Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov, the Ministry of Health has reported.

Before dedicating himself to the church, the bishop himself worked as a paramedic in a hospital in Stuttgart. "With this act during these bright holidays, I want to show light in the tunnel for all who care for the sick, as well as for all Christians in Bulgaria. Finally, we will be able to see our beloved ones, whom we have long been separated from.” This is how Bishop Tikhon explained his decision to be among the first vaccinated in this country.
