The early morning light enters quietly through the windows and mixes with the smoke from incense. In the empty church, it is so quiet that one can almost hear the silence.

That photo catches the exact moment right before the first service starts. The incense always hangs thicker near the iconostasis in our old Antiochian parishes around here.
It is very difficult for me to fast while working, especially when I have meetings with clients and I have to go to a cafe. I often take bread and fruit from home, but yesterday I cooked beans again and heated them in the office. What do you do at work so that the fast is not broken?

Yesterday I tried to make spinach fritters for Easter. I added a little butter, garlic, and lemon juice at the end, and they turned out much more delicious than I expected. The children ate them without complaining, which is rare.

Sunčevi zraci probijaju kroz oblake iznad katedrale. Baš lepo kako svetlost pada na kupole i sve izgleda mirno.

Nice shot. What time does the cathedral usually have services on a Sunday, and is it open for visitors during the week?
On Saturday, I went with my husband to a small monastery near Kazan. During the service, they were commemorating Saint Hilarion the Great, and I lit a candle and prayed for my son, who was just taking his exams. On the way back in the darkness, the mood was calm and bright.

In the evening sky, the golden domes shine as if the light comes from within. It is a calm picture, relaxing to the eye.

Beautiful church. This is the Church of St. Nicholas that I always remember in my prayers.

Is this church open for visitors on weekdays and when do the evening services begin?
