Protοiereus Eusthathius Yankov’s Letters to Hieromonk Nikolay (Kozhuharov)

Abstract

This paper represents the first publication of letters preserved in Gancho Velev’s archive, related to the correspondence between Prot. Euthatthius Yankov and Hieromonk Nikolay (who later became the Bishop of Makari-opol). The paper also highlights the silence surrounding the bishop’s passing and the subsequent ‘loss of memory’ related to him in the following period. The letters include personal accounts that emphasize brotherhood and friendship in Christ, as well as a few references to Boris of Nevrokop.
