Манастир "Света Троица" - Кръстова гора/Holy Trinity Monastery - Forest of the Cross - a holy place

Drone pilot: Anton FPV / 80toi
Legend has it that a small piece of the Holy Cross has been buried in the heart of the Rhodope Mountain, some 6 km away from the village of Borovo, Southern Bulgaria. The place, which is called Cross Forest, is known as the land of wonders. Today people from all over Bulgaria and abroad come to Cross Forest to honour the wonder-working cross set up there, and look for a cure for their disease.
According to some old documents, once upon a time there had been a monastery there, which was destroyed during the Ottoman Domination, granny Elena told a Radio Bulgaria reporter. In her words, in 1903 her father and three families settled in the village of Borovo. Later, he became the mayor of the village only to build the church with the help of the villagers. Granny Elena remembers that once they found in the foundations of the church two stone candle holders covered in drops of wax and having a carved cross in the middle. One legend has it that some monks buried at the foot of the eminence where Cross Forest lied the golden icon of the onetime monastery, in which a little piece of the Holy Cross had been built in.
