Protestant Christianity
Protestantism in its various forms arrived in the 19th century because of missionaries, mainly from the United States. Today it is a quickly growing confession, with membership having doubled from 1991 to 2001. Half of the Protestants in Bulgaria are newly-converted Roma, while the other half are for the most part Bulgarians.

“There was a young lady called Alice
Who peed in a Catholic chalice.

It was done out of need
And not out of Protestant malice.”
