The hit documentary “The Lightning Saint” was presented in Vidin.
The host of the news program “Around the World and at Home” on Bulgarian National Television, Angel Bonchev, presented his documentary film “The Lightning Saint”, dedicated to Saint Ephraim Novi, to the Vidin audience.
The event took place on January 16 at 6 p.m. at the Cultural Center "Jules Pascin."
The film tells the story of the angelic life and miraculous works of Saint Ephraim Novi. It features people who have been touched by his divine help. “The Lightning Saint” presents personal stories of individuals who, over the years, have experienced miraculous healings from cancer, the revival of a baby declared dead in its mother’s womb, and the recovery of a Bulgarian woman from mental illness after a suicide attempt. A famous Greek singer shares how Saint Ephraim Novi protected her from losing her voice. The great Bulgarian actress Emilia Radeva lends her voice to a scene in the film, portraying Mother Makaria, the nun who discovered the relics of Saint Ephraim Novi on January 3, 1950.
Saint Ephraim Novi is called the “Lightning Saint” because of the rapid miracles that occur through his prayers.
