Called by many The Saint From Village Baylovo, ninety nine year old pensioner Dobri Dobrev once walked the fifteen miles but now travels by bus from his home to Bulgaria's capital Sofia to beg for money. Which he then gives away.
Dobri is a generous man and begs not to supplement his pension of less than 1.5 euros a day but to give money to the poor and the needy.
There's more about him here.
I don't know just how poor and needy the Saint Alexander Novsky Cathedral was but he once gave it over forty thousand euros.
For whatever reasons you do this Dobri, thankyou...

It's a very pleasing interview, (here) but it stops being translated at the sixth of seven minutes. He's an alert and lively speaker.
