Summary/Abstract: For centuries, the Zograf Monastery on Mount Athos has received numerous donations of movable property and real estate, part of which have been preserved to this date. Some of these properties are no longer owned by the monastery due to historical reasons, economic crises and urgent needs of the monastery. In recent times, the management of the property owned by the monastery is related to the activity of Eforie "Zograf" which is the legal entity with certain powers and managing authority. An important condition for preserving the Bulgarian character of the monastery is the preservation of its property and the provision of funds for maintenance of buildings and support of the monks. The Zograf Monastery on Mount Athos is not only a repository of manuscripts, books and works of art and a center of worship. It is also the center, which over the centuries have confined and kept monuments of Bulgarian culture and history, a source of Bulgarian national consciousness.
