Synodal, state, and municipal guidelines to local believers about restrictions of church services during past Lent did not imply closure of Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Christian sacred spaces, because hospitals, pharmacies, and shops would not stop working and people were allowed to buy food, medicines, and to get emergent healthcare.
