The Orthodox Church prays to St. George in a carol: A rescuer of captives, and defender of the poor, a healer of the feeble, and fighter against kings, Victorious, Great Martyr George – pray to Christ, the Lord to save our souls!
Voted a monument of culture by UNESCO, the Rotunda “St.George” is the oldest, completely preserved structure of its kind in Sofia. This tiny church has got frescoes of the evangelists, prophets, and the nativity. It has got 5 layers of frescoes on its inner walls. It was the glory of Serdika when the place was one of the most influential and biggest Roman cities on the Balkan Peninsula. For 1500 years the Church has witnessed all kinds of Christian rituals, holy gatherings and has had its major part in the celebrations of the Bulgarian people. It is an inspiration to historians, artists, believers and even ordinary passers-by.
