OBIDIM

'Obidim' (Bulgarian: Обидим) is a village in the Blagoevgrad Province, southwestern Bulgaria. As of 2006 it has 141 inhabitants. The village was founded in the 14th century. During the Ottoman rule, the local population strongly preserved the Bulgarian patriotic spirit and as a result the village was burned down in 1903 and 1912 when it was finally liberated. There are several churches, the biggest being ''Sv. Nikolay'' built in 1836.
