Bulgaria is crying! Today, at the age of 103, after a brief illness, Grandfather Dobri died - The Bulgarian Saint from Baylovo (July 20, 1914 - February 13, 2018). Bright Way to His Soul!
I believe this article ran in my local newspaper Sonya. I remember when you sent me the information and I gave it to the newspaper. I am sorry to hear of his death. He was truly a Saint.
Grandfather Dobri will be buried on Thursday in his native village of Baylovo, which is very close to Sofia. Since yesterday, hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians have gone to worship and say goodbye to him. I often met grandfather Dobri in the city transport, where I was going home. He went down to the same bus stop, where I was going down. I will never see him again. Bulgarian society insists that the Bulgarian Orthodox Church has already begun actions for canonization of grandfather Dobri for Saint. According to Bulgarian theologians, this is a slow process, but we all hope that this will become a reality.
I am sorry to hear of his death. He was truly a Saint.
