Data Points

Saint Charalampius served as the bishop of Magnesia, Thessaly, during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus (196-210). Despite the Christian persecutions of his time, he fearlessly preached, healing his wounds through prayer and converting many pagans to Christianity. He was martyred in 198 at the age of 113. In the early 19th century, a temple dedicated to St. Haralampius was located in Plovdiv's 'Marasha' district. In 1874, it was extensively renovated with generous contributions from the kaftan guild. The temple's architecture included a distinctive three-nave pseudo-basilica design with a remarkable dome. The iconostasis, pulpit, and princely throne were beautifully crafted, and the icons were painted by renowned artists. A fire in 1970 damaged the church, leading to restoration work overseen by architect Nikola Ovcharov. A new dome was added, harmonizing with the existing belfry. The interior was adorned with frescoes, and the church was reconsecrated in 1977.
