Orthodox Saints
We dedicated this program to the saints thousands of Christians turn to with prayers of good health and protection, aid and spiritual guidance. This is one of Bulmint's biggest projects, with 12 collections planned, each with a common motif struck from pure gold and silver - the face of a revered saint depicted on the obverse. On the reverse side, the richly ornamented iconostasis of the Nativity of the Virgin Church in the Rila Monastery has been transformed.
The choice of 12 saints is not accidental - the number occupies an honored place in the New Testament, with 12 holy apostles, 12 great feasts in Eastern Orthodoxy and 12 days between the Nativity of Christ and Epiphany. In 2023, we welcomed the first 3 collections to the program.
