The Macedonian Orthodox Church – Ohrid Archbishopric (MOC-OA) has invited the Bulgarian Orthodox Church (BOC) to mark the 1000 year anniversary of the Ohrid Archbishopric.

According to statements by the MOC-OA, the 1000 year anniversary will be marked with church-state ceremonies in Ohrid on 27 and 28 May.

The Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) will also mark the millennial anniversary of the establishment of the Ohrid Archbishopric, read the statement issued after the annual gathering of the Holy Bishopric of the SOC, which ended yesterday.

The statement says that the celebration will be “prayerful and dignified and will take place at some point this year”.
