Rupite Church of St. Petka — Local services in Petrich

The most unique church I've ever been to and one of my favorite ones by far!!! The art is just gorgeous and you can totally feel Baba Vanga's presence, there's a feeling of peace, animals are roaming around happy and relaxed, fruits are growing abundantly as if the soil is blessed with her presence and probably the hot mineral water that ate rich in nutrients.

Souvenir and religious items sold in a shop by the entrance to the complex and exit. Public bathrooms are available outside the complex. Entrance is free as well as parking. Very well maintained and same people have been working there for the last few years I visited which is always nice to see. There are a few stalls driving to the parking area selling homemade jarred goods and produce. Behind the complex there's a great free hot mineral pools you can enjoy (there's even changing booths!) bring your own towel and flip flops it's...

Place of harmony, peace and love. Very clean, beautifully arranged, lots of flowers, greenery and hot mineral springs. The prayer spaces (temple, chapel and rooms) are so calm and harmonious. Great art collections as well. Vanga's house is perfectly preserved and definitely worth a visit. Everything is free of charge, and all visitors are welcome and respected. A simple and authentic, yet a truly sacred place. Excellent job by the current...
