RE: Felt Extraterrestrial - Imprinted by LightCaptured
;)
It's really awesome to have such places, that are "exceptions" from the common no-photo church rule, hehe.
Here is the church I was talking about:
It was built by the Ottoman invaders a few centuries ago as a mosque and later after the liberation it was converted to a church. The old Arabic letters inscriptions still remain on the walls and that is quite interesting to see.
Now-a-days it is a museum. So there is no priest all the time but during the major Christian holidays they place masses there.
Mosques do not have bell towers, so a separate tower had been build to handle the bells 20 meters away from the church ;)
Inside:



красиво... теперь я обязан показать свой собор ))
Разве это можно скрывать от камеры ))
Красота!!!
Also, a lot bigger and the paintings are really good :)
Спасибо)
Это действительно большой собор и он богато украшен как внутри, так и снаружи. Нет ни одного квадратного дециметра без украшений ))
I always wonder how much time had it taken to paint all those...
о ... это серьёзная работа :)
Work of a lifetime for some, I am sure.
There is a famous old wooden cross with fine miniature woodcarvings here at the Rilski Monastery (the biggest in Bulgaria) done for decades by a monk who after completing it lost his eyesight.

да, для кого-то так и есть.
Меня поражают китайские резчики по дереву. Они берут почти целый ствол дерева и создают... новые миры.
Этот Рыльский крест впечатляет, конечно. Тут ещё ведь и строгий канон надо блюсти.
Wow... This must be collective job or someone has found the source of eternal life? :)))
