Summary/Abstract: The article presents the canonical aspects of the property of the Orthodox churches on the basis of the Rules of the Universal Church, as well as it analyses the provisions of the Rules of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church- the Bulgarian Patriarchate in particular.More detailed analysis is made on the contemporary Bulgarian legislation, concerning property law issues of the religious beliefs. Put forward is the circumstance that the administrating regime of the real estates by virtue of normative delegation is granted to the inner regulatory acts and canonical principles of the relevant religious denomination.Special emphasis is put on the property law status of the Orthodox temples which by virtue of the canonical norms are excluded from the civil circulation.The author makes a few proposals de lege ferenda which will allow the collaboration between civil law regulations and natural restrictive regime concerning the specific principles of the Orthodox temples.
