The iconostasis. Note the Classical Greek influence. This is the oldest church in Sofia. The present church was built in the sixth century during the reign of Justinian. An earlier church was visited by St. Athanasios of Alexandria when he attended the Council of Serdica in 343.

I am reading The Basil II blinded 15000 prisoners and sent them back. That does not seem very godly.

I cannot understand how they can be proud for the monstrous Samouil, a person that caused a contant genocide to the helladic population, he demolished, for example, Larissa to the ground and enslaved every person that he didn't killed, how a nation can be proud for a person like him. Thank God, He sent Basil II' and freed His people from this monster.
