| Saw many beautiful old churches, including some from the 1400s with icons dating from the 11th century. | |||||||||||||||||||||
|

| The interiors of the churches were stunning with silver and gold adorning the icons and the gospel beautifully painted out for the illiterate as in all ancient European churches. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| The Icons above the doors are taken very seriously, the devout offering many prayers before they even enter the church. | |||||||||||||||||||||
