Scroll

01. Descriere

The Church of St. George the Victorious is found on the main street, close to the centre of the locality. It was built in 1902, being a cross basilica, with three domes, with open porch and brick masonry on the facade. It was consecrated in 1906. The iconostasis is the work of an unknown local craftsman, and inside are still old icons from the 17th and 18th centuries. The newest ones are made by the academic Ivan Stefanov. Interesting are the four chapels and two candlesticks, brought from Jerusalem and Constantinople. In 1992, the church was painted, and in 2018, it was completely renovated.  At present, the church is run by the theologian doctor Petko Baldzhiev. The settlement is visited by many believers, due to the fact that the town of Vrashets is a mountain resort highly sought after by tourists.
