This album contains 16 beautiful, large -size, perfect- quality reproductions of icons belonging to the National History Museum collection and a black-and- white page with text- description about the icons. Most of them are painted between 9th and 17th centuries.

The history of the Bulgarian icon begins in 863 when Boris I, King of Bulgaria, proclaimed Christianity the state religion of Bulgaria, which in those days comprised the former Roman provinces of Moesia, Thrace, Macedonia, Dacia and Pannonia. This is how the Bulgarian icon was born. At the very beginning of its existence, it borrowed directly from the style and merits of the Byzantine iconography, as it was Byzantium from where Bulgaria adopted Christianity together with Byzantine Orthodox service.
