A self-sacrificing love, unfathomable for the human mind, with which "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16), stated the patriarchal and synodal Christmas message published by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church - Bulgarian Patriarchate.
