Тысячи болгар присоединились в субботу к православным священникам в процессии похорон покойного болгарского патриарха Неофита, направлявшейся в Софийский собор, где он был упокоен в возрасте 78 лет, скончавшись после продолжительной болезни, сообщает Reuters.

Высшее православное духовенство и Вселенский Патриарх Варфоломей, духовный лидер Восточных православных церквей по всему миру, возглавили мессу и заупокойную службу по патриарху в соборе Александра Невского в Софии.

Сотни верующих присутствовали на мессе, некоторые возлагали цветы и плакали, прощаясь с патриархом, который торжественно лежал в открытом гробу, облаченный в богато украшенную белую мантию и корону.

Останки Неофита были перенесены на орудийном лафете - таком же, который использовался для похорон болгарского короля Бориса III в 1943 году.

Также присутствовали местные высокопоставленные лица и иностранные религиозные деятели, включая главу Украинской православной церкви Епифания I.

Во время церемонии центр города был закрыт для движения транспорта и были приняты повышенные меры безопасности.

Выборы следующего патриарха должны состояться в ближайшие четыре месяца.
