Volunteers joined the efforts to clean and restore the monastery St. Spas near Bakadzhik peak. The campaign is being organized on 2 November by Stoimen Petrov, mayor of the nearby village of Chargan, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports.
The construction of the monastery church started in 1879 near the spot where a monastery once stood destroyed during the April uprising of 1876. The monastery St. Spas was restored in 1879. The first abbots at the monastery organized a small farm to provide food for the monks. In 1910, the monks hewed out a cave near the monastery in which a spring flowed with what was believed to be curative water, known as the “Samaritan’s spring”.
