A Holy Liturgy Tsarevo - Church on a sea
rocks
Its 5th day since I'm in
Tsarevo . Its my first time in
Tzarevo but hope not my last time. The place is absolutely
charming !
There are more than 15 beaches in the region, plenty of beautiful
rocks, a little sea port and 2 beautiful Churches - one located on
the tiny little city street as well as the second ancient Church
located on a sea rocks nearby the sea coast.
The whole main city (old) part is concentrated near 3 main streets
one of which can be considered central. Once one walk the central
street you pass by a little park (sea garden - as we call them in
bulgaria) located on right. Continuing straight in the main street
in the eyesight of the viewer is a strange beautiful looking
natural water carved rocks.
Once you walk towards the rocky shore mixed with sand at one's
sight view is a large cross:
Tsarevo is a place for people who like rocky places as there are
too many of rocks all around the town.
Most of the beaches here are a mixture of rocks and sand, so
probably people who prefer luxurious beaches won't like it, but for
"wild souls" like me it is pefect :)br />
Here is a picture of the
central Tsarevo beach.
Today in morning for the usual Sunday holy liturgy we went to the
rock located Church
Dormition of Virgin Mary with Galin and
his little kid.
The Church history is ancient and originally the most ancient
Christian Church that was there is probably from 5th or 6th century
as in many other places in Bulgaria. The current Church (stone)
building is from 1895 before the liberating war for Bulgaria with
Ottoman Turkish.
Dormition of Virgin Mary Church is one of the
important
"landmarks" of Tsarevo. Though the church is on such a "desert"
place it is fully functional; Holy Liturgy is served on each big
Church feast and any tourist Christian can go during day hours
09:00 - 20:00 h for short prayer or supplication.
After the Holy Liturgy, I spend some time staring at the sea view
from the rock on the back of the Church building. The panorama one
get from the rock eminence behind the church is amazing beautiful
(purely inspirational) ...
Here are some pictures of the Church, I don't hold copyright over
the pictures, so the pictures belong to the respective persons who
took them.
