The stone walls and that big gold cross really stand out against the painted saints sitting there so peacefully. Quiet and solid, the way old churches feel.

Марија Николовска That big gold cross really stands out on those stone walls.
Margaret Evans I like how those painted saints look right at home on the stone. Where did you take this?
نقولا صايغ Yes, I loved these stone walls. Please share the link or the name of the church so I can see it too.
Nicolas Martin The raw stone walls must be several centuries old, we can clearly see that the mortar is old between the blocks. The large golden crucifix really contrasts with the slightly faded frescoes.
Андрій Шевченко Those frescoes really hold well on the stone, the colors can still be seen clearly even after so many years. In our region, in Odessa, similar walls from the 19th century are found in old churches by the sea.
Григорий Зайцев The cross shines well against the background of the old stone.
Petar Popović Yes, that golden cross stands out the most on the stone, just as Maria says.
Magdalena Zielińska These stone blocks are really thick, and the joints between them are narrow and uneven, so they must be at least three hundred years old. This golden cross looks new against this background.
Людмила Шевчук Those stone blocks really look old and the gold cross stands out as Gregory said.
