Zlatolist is a small village located between Sandanski and Melnik. Its inhabitants are few and most are elderly. Each of them can give you directions and tell you the story of the church. The church is called "St. George" and in it lived Reverend Stoyna. When she was seven years old Reverend Stoyna fell ill with smallpox and consequently became blind. Years later, St. George comes to her dream and tells her to dig in the yard of the house where she lived and there she will find his icon and a sanctuary lamp. A church was built at that place. During the Second Balkan War, the family of the prophet moved to Bulgaria. On the way to Petrich, Reverend Stoyna decided that she should remain in the church "St. George" in Zlatolist and spent the rest of her life there
