Balkans 7

 Ethno Village

Another little log church was either under construction or being heavily renovated. It was hexagonal, with an entrance “hall,” and a cupola. The only furnishings were a large gold chandelier, an icon stand, and a few small icons.


Facing the church was this fountain.

Balkans 6

 Ethno Village

This little setting had two tiny Orthodox churches. Wonderful construction, painted all over with Bible stories and saints, and with typical gold furnishings. Here is the first.
