St king Milutin The Holy and Pious Milutin, King of Serbia The Holy and Pious King Milutin was the son of Uro I and Queen Helena and brother of Dragutin. He fought many battles defending his Faith and his people. He fought against Emperor Michael Palaeologus because Palaeologus accepted union with Rome and tried to force the Balkan peoples and the monks of Athos to recognize the pope. He fought against Shishman, King of Bulgaria, and Nogai, King of the Tartars, in order to defend his lands. All his wars were successful, for he constantly prayed to God and hoped in God. He built more than forty churches: beside those that he built in his own land-Treskavac, Graèanica, St. George in Nagoriè, the Church of the Holy Theotokos in Skoplje, Banjska and so forth-he also built churches outside of his land, in Thessalonica, Sofia, Constantinople, Jerusalem and the Holy Mountain. He entered into rest in the Lord on October 29, 1320. His body was soon shown to be incorrupt and miracle-working; and as such, it reposes even today in the Church of the Holy King in Sofia, Bulgaria. Holy Serbian King Milutin - Stefan Uroš II ( 1253-1321) Monastery Banjska in Kosovo of Serbia -Endowment for eternal residence The Battle of Gallipoli was fought in 1312 year, between the Byzantine Empire, Serbian Kingdom - led King Milutin and Republic of Genoa against Turks led by Halil Pasha.

⛪ Review of Saint Nedelya Church, Sofia 📍📸 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Saint Nedelya Church stands as a beacon in the heart of Sofia, and for me, it serves as a pivotal landmark dividing the city's north and south. While I'm not certain of its official status as the city's center, it undeniably marks the core of my personal exploration in Sofia. Positioned at one extremity of the bustling 'Vitosha' boulevard, the church is surrounded by the city's vibrant icons, making it an inescapable sight. The architectural beauty and spiritual aura of Saint Nedelya have made it a favorite subject of my photography, offering endless perspectives to capture. In my profession as an International Remote Personal Trainer and Life Coach, I stress the importance of finding personal landmarks in our lives that ground us and provide direction. Saint Nedelya Church does just that within the urban landscape of Sofia. It's more than just a place to visit; it's a landmark you will inevitably experience, drawing you into the rich tapestry of the city. Whether you're here for spiritual solace, architectural admiration, or simply to find your bearings, Saint Nedelya Church is a captivating presence. It's not about making a special trip; it's about the certainty that you'll find yourself in its shadow, ready to discover more of what Sofia has to offer.

The Cathedral of Saint Nedelya also known as the Saint Sofia Church is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The cathedral was built in the 19th century on the site of an older church that had been destroyed by the Ottomans in 1833. The new cathedral was designed by the Russian architect Ivan Vasilyov and was completed in 1867. It is a neo-classical style building with a large dome and two bell towers. The cathedral was severely damaged in a bombing attack in 1925 by an anarchist group. The explosion killed over 30 people and destroyed much of the interior of the cathedral. The cathedral was rebuilt and reopened in 1933. Today, the Cathedral of Saint Nedelya is a popular tourist destination. It is known for its beautiful architecture and its rich history. The cathedral is also a popular place for religious services and concerts. If you are ever in Sofia, I highly recommend visiting the Cathedral of Saint Nedelya. It is a truly beautiful and awe-inspiring place.
