Beautiful photo, thanks to Mircea Florescu for the photo from the cathedral!

Vuk Marković

Sporită pentru archimandritul Maxim. Știu că Mircea Florescu a fotografiat la Sveti Nikola uroški, i-aș fi dat naša photo.

Saint Nicholas of Uroš is a shrine in our city, and Mircea Florescu often found photos of our shrines. Which picture did he mean, the one from the canopy on the street?

Vladimir Ilić

Yes, the one from the canopy on the street, the one in front of the church. Mircea captured the light through the leaves really well, you can see that he knows our shrines. Did you maybe see her live?

Ivana Savić

Yes, I also heard that Mircea filmed at St. Nicholas. But for this news from the Synod, I think they took an older photo of him from the monastery, not the one from the street. Wolf, did you see exactly what picture he wanted to give?

Dragan Kostić

Ivana, I think you're right, that photo is from the monastery, you can see it on the walls and mantle. Mircea normally likes to paint at Saint Nicholas, but the Synod certainly didn't want a street version. Wolf, did you manage to find the original?

Marko Lukić

I think the photo is from the monastery, the walls and mantle match. Mircea likes to catch the light at Saint Nicholas, but for the Synod this is surely more serious. Wolf, did you find that original?
