Metropolitan Boris of Nevrokop (1888 - 1948)
He was born with the secular name Vangel Simov Razumov on October 26, 1888 in the Bitola village of Gyavato, Ottoman Empire. His father Simeon Tsvetkov Razumov died in 1903 as a rebel of Georgi Sugarev. Vangel studied in Gyavato and in Constantinople, after which in 1904 he graduated from the third grade of the Edirne Bulgarian High School. From the autumn of the same year, with a scholarship granted by Exarch Joseph I of Bulgaria, he continued his education at the Bulgarian Theological Seminary in Constantinople, graduating in 1910.
On February 17, 1935, Bishop Boris was elected Metropolitan of Nevrokop and was canonically confirmed on February 24. With his good education and knowledge of 13 languages, Metropolitan Boris developed a wide educational and spiritual activity in his diocese. For easier management, move the headquarters from Nevrokop to the district center of Gorna Dzhumaya. He opened many youth Orthodox societies and in a short period of time managed to successfully build over 20 churches. Metropolitan Boris is the author of pedagogical manuals and composes an akathist of St. Ivan Rilski.
After the defeat of Yugoslavia by Germany in the spring of 1941, the Bulgarian Exarchate restored its diocese in the parts of Vardar and Aegean Macedonia annexed by Bulgaria and in Western Thrace. The Strumica and Drama dioceses were united as the Strumica-Drama diocese until 1943, when they were again divided. The temporary administration of the Drama Diocese was taken over by Metropolitan Boris Nevrokopski.
After the September 9 coup, Metropolitan Boris also waged an irreconcilable struggle against the atheistic communist ideology, for which he was called at his funeral by Metropolitan Mikhail Dorostolsky and Chervensky "the conscience of the Bulgarian Church." Due to his actions, the District Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party in Gorna Dzhumaya declared him an "enemy № 1 of the people's government." On November 8, 1948, after celebrating the Holy Liturgy for the consecration of the church "St. Dimitar" in the village of Kolarovo, Metropolitan Boris was killed by the deposed priest Iliya Stamenov from the village of Harsovo. Stamenov is a communist agent and the assassination is part of the communist regime's increased pressure on the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and is aimed at intimidating other bishops.
On March 31, 2016, the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, after considering a letter from Metropolitan Seraphim of Nevrokop, gave a blessing for the start of the procedure for the canonization of Metropolitan Boris Nevrokopski.
On June 26, 2018, the Synod of Bishops of the Bulgarian Orthodox Old-Style Church decided that Metropolitan Boris should be ecclesiastically glorified in the person of the holy martyrs. Metropolitan Boris Nevrokopski was buried again in the church "Introduction to the Mother of God" in Gorna Dzhumaya

This photo was my great-grandfather's, it used to hang in his shop but it was given to me a few years ago. Not sure how old it is, but the village was destroyed in the late 1940s so it must be from at least older than that.
