The Russian Church  Sofia  Sofia Siteseeings Related Topics  Sofia  Icons		The Russian Church LIGHT A CANDLE Open any guide to Sofia, and you will read that the Russian St. Nicholas Church was designed by architect Preobrazhensky and completed in 1914. See the church, and you are bound to be impressed by its fine style and typical Novgorod frescoes. What you won't read anywhere and will definitely miss unless you know about it is the chapel to St. Seraphim in the backyard. Sofians come here because they believe that the saint can work miracles. He can cure all ills and make all wishes come true if you light a candle, stand still by the sarcophagus and drop behind it a piece of paper on which you have written your wish. So if you have time to spare, give it a try. After all, one never knows.
