Church of St. Nicholas the Miracle-Maker is a Russian Orthodox church.
The church was built on the site of the Saray Mosque, which was destroyed in 1882, after the liberation of Bulgaria by Russia from the Ottoman Empire. It was built as the official church of the Russian Embassy, which was located next door, and of the Russian community in Sofia, and was named, as was the tradition for diplomatic churches, for the patron saint of the Emperor who ruled Russia at the time, Nicholas II of Russia.
The five domes are coated with gold.

I asked ChatGPT: "Who is Saint Nicholas?". The answer was a very appealing text with lots of information about the well-known and popular Bishop of Myra. Then I asked ChatGPT: "Who is Saint Nicholas FOR YOU?" The answer: "As an artificial intelligence, I have no personal convictions, feelings or belief systems. My answers are based on information I received during my training."

How good that we humans exist, I thought. What would this world be without actions that are done out of personal conviction, without people who empathize and without the belief that this world is created for the good. It seems to me that the crucial question of today is: "Who is Saint Nicholas for YOU?"
