[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Bulgarian Orthodox Church of St. Stephen of the Bulgars (also known as the Bulgarian Iron Church, famous for being made of cast iron) was the cathedral church of the Bulgarian Exarch, a title and position invented by the Ottoman sultan when, in the later 1800s, the sultan's Bulgarian subjects demanded to be emancipated from the authority of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch. At this time of ethnic nationalism, the Bulgarians claimed, with justification, that the patriarch favored Greeks over Bulgars even though both were orthodox Christians.
The church is still used for services by Istanbul's small, dwindling community of Bulgarian orthodox residents.
And I had luck to join the magnificant Easter service in April 2007.
