Hello @vedarg! You brought me with your walk to this monastery even just virtually. The church is small but dainty. Its nice to see they also remained true to its old architecture. The scenery surrounding it is also refreshing. Did you went inside the church though? What was it like inside?

I'm glad I was able to bring you to this holy place with my camera. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures inside as it wasn't allowed. The church is small but very tidy as all the spaces are used very practically. There are beautiful arches on either side of the inner room and glass chandeliers hanging from above. At the very end of the church is the altar with three icons on each side, and in front of it are the candlesticks where the believers light candles and pray. There are also several benches to sit and commune with God.
I bet the inside was peaceful and beautiful too. Take me there next time! 😉
