The Christmas Eve festive lithurgy of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church Friday will be presided by Patriarch Maxim, announced the church Thursday.
The service will start at 18.00 EET at the St. Alexander Nevski cathedral in downtown Sofia. As usual, it will be covered by the Bulgarian National TV and the Bulgarian National Radio.
Festive lithurgies will be held by metropolitan bishops in bishoprics across the country.
Recently the 96-year-old Patriarch Maxim dispelled worries that he is in failing health, saying that he is alive and well and is fully performing his duties as head of the church.
