THE ICON OF SAINT IVAN OF RIL WAS DONATED TO THE CHURCH OF SAINT MARINA IN THE VILLAGE OF MEDVENtranslated

October 20, 2026 · 1 min read

A consecrated icon of St. Ivan Rilski was donated to St. Marina Church in the village of Medven today. The occasion brought together the deputy mayor Kancho Dunekov, representatives of the community center management and residents of the village as a sign of respect for faith and spiritual traditions.

The icon is a donation from the People's Community Center "Izvor - 1882" - the village of Medven. The initiative is an expression of respect for Christian values ​​and a desire to preserve the spiritual heritage that unites the local community.

The community center and the church have long occupied an important place in Medven's life. As centers of culture, faith and Bulgarian traditions, they keep the connections between generations alive. Donating the icon is a symbolic gesture that connects these two spiritual pillars of the village and carries a message of unity, charity and empathy.

Saint Ivan of Rila is revered as the heavenly protector of the Bulgarian people and a symbol of humility, faith and spiritual strength. The donation of the icon is an occasion to recall the importance of Christian traditions and their place in the modern life of the local community.
