Amongst the many known holy places spread around the Bulgarian lands, there is a sanctuary, which still seeks its place in the new history of Bulgaria, but already has found it in the hearts of the believers.
Welcome to the official website of the "Holy Trinity" monastery at Cross Forest.

The Cross Forest is one of the biggest Bulgarian Orthodox sanctuaries, which although continues to rase questions and discussions,is a place where God abundantly transmits His grace.From decades, fathers have passed to their sons the story of the medicative wonders of the cross built on the hill above the Borovo village, where many have found solace, healed and glorified God.
Here at Cross forest, the believer can value fittingly, everything that the Bulgarian Orthodox church had done throughout the times of rise and fall, so the acts of the faith could stay alive and active. And if at certain times there was disturbance in the faith that happened because God let it happened, so he can put on test the strength of the Christian spirit.
That never ending faith has brought today even you, from the different parts of our Motherland so you can drink of the holy waters of Christ's wise words and taste the fruits of the hope and love impregnated by the wisdom of the Gospel, to re-think the words: "Here on Earth, man is a tired traveller, who has stopped to spend the night, for we don't have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come" / Hebrews 13:14 /

Let us give ourselves a hand and live through our life, filled with love and hope
Human faith is a value, Christian faith is wisdom, love among people is also a love of God.
Life is an endless search for value, wisdom and love.
