Summary/Abstract: For centuries now has the Bulgarian iconography prevailed and continued its development through the ebbs and flows generated by historical circumstances. Following years of aggressive atheism promoted by the communist regime, today the ground is fertile, it seems, for its continuum. Although, is this truly so? Despite the existence of specialized academic education in iconography, and the multitude of iconographic programs affiliated with churches and centers for education and skill development, a variety of problematic roadblocks still exists. On one hand, this report intends to generate discussion through the questions it raises, on the other hand, it traces the creative search, creative doubts implicit in the discipline. Additionally, an attempt was made to present a broad picture of the leading practices and tendencies in Orthodox Christian iconography in present day Bulgaria.
