This list of the Bulgarian Saints Calendar was created by Manouil Yamalyan, theologian, and reviewed by Prof. Ivan Dimitrof from the Theological Faculty of the Sofia University. As a file it is not complete and the text is in process of creating and needs of additions. We intend to edit the English translations of the Lives, works, icons, liturgical glorifications and hymnography of the Bulgarian Saints.
