Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to the works of Professor Archimandrite Evtimiy Sapundzhiev. Are Bulgarian poets and writers negative toward religion? Professor Sapundzhiev answers categorically that Bulgarian writers not only do not deny religion but actively support the Church and act as apologists for the Christian faith. Our study follows this assertion. In this vein, our goal is to demonstrate that two classics of Bulgarian literature, Yordan Yovkov and Elin Pelin, affirm their Christian faith and the values that also accompany the moral life of the Bulgarian people through their work.
