Before another upcoming excursion, here will be a few more posts on the Baltics.
This was a church ruin we stopped see. It belongs, still, to an Orthodox congregation, and was destroyed by the communists. The small group hopes to rebuild it sometime.

| Church interior |
 |
| Still inhabited |
 |

| A sign nearby showed the former glory and told the sad story and remaining hopes. |
Some people have suffered much and keep their hope. Admirable.
How sad, but hope is good, too. Loved the little flowers!
