Cantacuzenus) won which resulted in making the Orthodox religion more mystical
    ( later the Isichasm came into Bulgaria and influenced all other Orthodox states). It was founded by Gregorius Sinainit. Other famous leader of Isichasts were Gregorius Palama. The last Bulgarian medieval patriarch Evtimius was also Isichst. He had two famous students- Gregorius Tsamblak and Cyprian who went in other Orthodox states and actively participated in their culture. I can be more detailed but I do not want to be boring.
