Summary/Abstract: The object of this article is a special type of reliquary, called “taxidiote boxes” (gr,”taxid” way) having a certain function during the Revival period on the Bulgarian lands. They are related to a spiritual movement of the“monks – taxidiotes” (translation from a Greek means monk on his way)on the Balkans, which is a result of the historical situation during the Ottoman conquests. Although this activity naturally subsides after the Liberation, this movement remains a social, cultural and spiritual “phenomenon” in the history of Bulgaria.
