This year also in the Sofia Church of Saint Nedelya, the relics of St. King Milutin are traditionally dressed, the relics are in the area of the city of Sofia for more than 550 years. Around 1460, the body of the Serbian king was transferred from the Banjska monastery, first to Trepča and then to Sofia, in order to prevent it from being physically endangered before the onslaught of the Ottoman Empire's army.

In the organization of the Embassy of Serbia and the Holy Metropolis of Sofia, led by the Vicar of Sofia and Bishop of Belogradchik, Polikarp, as in the past three years, after the changing of the dressing, a lithic with the relics of St. King Milutin, passed through the central streets of Sofia. In addition to numerous believers from Serbia, Republika Srpska, Montenegro and Bulgaria, the event was also attended by children from the „Babušnica“ Ensemble from Babušnica. Last year's clothes were taken to the church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Nemenikuće on Kosmaj.
