Life
Saint Paphnutius of Kalofer, called the Clairvoyant, is entered in the list of saints honoured by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, with the day of 27 July, marked with an asterisk that the list does not explain, so we cannot say whether the date is old or new style. He is tied to the town of Kalofer, at the foot of the Balkan range, and the epithet shows that he was honoured for the gift of spiritual sight.
The source preserves no data on the year of his birth or repose, nor details from his life.
