Comunitatea ortodoxă românească din Sofia. Istorie și actualitate
The Romanian Orthodox Community of Sofia. Its History and its Present

Summary/Abstract: This article is a short passage throughout the history of the Romanian diaspora, the Romanian schools, and the Romanian Orthodox Church in Sofia. The Romanian community in Sofia is formed by two components: 1) the Aromanian diaspora, who arrived in Sofia in the second part of the nineteenth century, and 2) Romanian citizens who have married or worked in the Bulgarian capital. They were all Orthodox Christians who shared the same faith. That is why one of the first things they did was to organize a religious community, or parish. Their second goal was to create a single school so that they could keep their identity in a capital multiethnic and cosmopolitan city. As a result, the history of the Romanian diaspora is inextricably linked to the history of the Romanian parish in Sofia and the history of Romanian schools. For this reason, we present them in parallel.
