A liturgy was served to mark the 130th anniversary since the laying of the foundation stone of the Bulgarian church “St. Stephen” in Istanbul, also known as the Iron Church. “St. Stephen Church is one of the symbols of the unity of the Bulgarian nation”, said Vice President Iliana Iotova, who heads the Bulgarian delegation. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartolomew I also attended the event.
