Religion

87% of Bulgaria’s inhabitants follows the Eastern Orthodox religion. The remainder is Muslim with small numbers of Catholics and other Christians.

Bulgaria is indeed famous for its many monasteries, the most famous of these is the exquisite monastery at Rila, although it is quite hard to drive in Bulgaria without coming across a monastery eventually.

A particularly special aspect of Bulgaria is the relationship its people have with their churches and how churches are readily accessible to all spheres of the population. Even the largest monasteries do not charge an entrance fee and people regularly attend churches to offer flowers and to say a small prayer or light a candle for a loved one.
