Aerial view of a vast Byzantine monastery with red rooftops, nestled at the foot of a dense, sunny forest. The back features handwritten correspondence in French and Bulgarian, dated September 1984, sent from Sofia to Paris. Two Bulgarian stamps from 1984 (10 and 20 stotinki) are affixed, with a Sofia cancellation. The text mentions the monastery's foundation in 946 by the hermit Ivan Rilski.
