Bulgarian Old Calendar Orthodox Church

The Bulgarian Old Calendar Orthodox Church (Българска Православна Старостилна Църква), or sometimes called the Bulgarian Traditionalist Orthodox Church, is a Bulgarian True Orthodox Church which is headquartered in the Vitosha Municipality within the Bulgarian Capital of Sofia. After the Revised Julian Calendar Change (New Calendar) of 1968 in the Bulgarian Patriarchate, a number of Bulgarian Clerics voiced their opposition to the change, along with some increase in Ecumenist Activity, and would either pass away early or become Non Commemorators for a time before some Bulgarian Clerics, most notably then Priest Photius Siromakhov, in the early/mid 1980s would approach the Holy Synod in Resistance, under Primate and Metropolitan Cyprian Koutsoumpas of Oropos and Fyli, to be received into their Synod and come under their Omophorion which was accepted. From then until the 1990s, the Bulgarian Clergy and their Laity were an Autonomous Diocese within the HSR. In 1993, a few years after the Collapse of the Communist Regime in Bulgaria and after some growth of True Orthodox Bulgarian Laity, Metropolitan Cyprian of Oropos and Fyli would grant and bestow Full Autocephaly and the OCOCB would be born and continue to this day under it's one and only Primate so far which is Metropolitan Photius Siromakhov of Triaditsa.
