I have never heard `_Old_ Church Slavonic' used. On the other hand,
there _is_ `Church Slavonic' which has, so to say, the `look and feel'
of Old Bulgarian and is its descendant under Russian influence.
(Since for several centuries, due to the Turkish conquest of the
Balkans, Russia was the mainstay of `Cyrillic-Slavonic' Christianity.)
