Title: Barriers to the Digital and Physical Accessibility of the Religious Cultural Heritage of Holy Mount of Sofia
Authors: G. Bogdanova, L. Galabova

Abstract: Accessibility of religious centres and their additional hierotopical natural and architectural spaces, although implied by virtues of responsibility, solidarity, care, charity, and love, does not seem to be internal characteristic priority in confessional specifics of socialisation of private and public places by Eastern Orthodox Christian Church. Management of living heritage (traditional and reconstructed), as well as of tangible (movable and immovable) church cultural heritage, of artworks and art performances according to their artistic value, and of feasts and practices, according to their touristic potential is accomplished mostly in the interest of their liturgical confessional function in the context of Eastern Orthodox Christian subcultural lifestyle in its whole traditional and contemporary global variety.
