The church was shot in Bucharest. It is a quiet place, somehow it reminds me of our Tbilisi churches.

Νίκος Αναγνώστου Where exactly is this church and when did you take it?
Богдан Гончар A very beautiful church. Where exactly in Bucharest?
Румяна Петрова This is the Church of St. Constantine and Helena next to the Patriarchate, the photo is from last year.
Andrew Turner Thanks Rumyana, that's helpful. Are they open to visitors during the week or only on Sundays, and do you know what time the services usually start?
Степан Попов Thank you, Rumyana, now it’s clear. The photo clearly shows how the brickwork on the dome is darker at the edges, as if from old soot. I wonder if it's open on weekdays.
Maria Ciobanu Where exactly did you take this picture?
Ana Munteanu Thanks to Rumyana for the clarification. I heard that at St. Constantine and Helena there is a small gathering every Friday morning after the 8 o'clock service.
Snežana Kostić Where did you record that church?
Rebecca Parker The brickwork on that dome does look darker round the edges. I read that the small agiasma font inside is still used for blessings most Fridays after the 8 o'clock service.
Helen Anderson The small agiasma font is right by the side entrance. I think they still fill it fresh from the spring every Friday before the morning service.
Veronika Nováková This is the old brick dome, you can see traces of repairs from the 19th century. The brickwork looks pretty solid, but the darker joints on top would need new mortar.
Κώστας Χατζής This church also has a small well with holy water that comes out from under the sanctuary. Romania has many such ancient springs inside churches.
Ilie Stoica St. Constantine and Helen. I heard that they have the small agheas on Tuesday after vespers, not just on Friday.
Андрей Смирнов Thank you, Rumyana. What is the most convenient way to get there from the station, by metro or better by bus? And is it possible to just go inside on a weekday and have a look?
Георгий Павлов Where exactly is this church in Bucharest and when did you film it?
