This year, 2025, marks 1160 years since the baptism of our Bulgarian people into the Orthodox faith and 1170 years since the creation of the Bulgarian alphabet and Slavic literature. On this occasion, the Varna and Veliki Preslav Bishopric Metropolis is organizing solemn celebrations in the period May 1-3, which will be held in Varna, Pliska and Shumen.

As part of the celebrations, a scientific session dedicated to the significant anniversaries will be held at the Shumen University "Bishop Konstantin Preslavski".
