Here is an old prayer book open by candlelight. The light is soft and it makes you want to sit for a while without saying anything.

Наталія Марченко I wonder what church this is in? The walls look somehow old, as if masonry from the 18th century.
George Evans The brickwork on the far wall looks pretty rough, like it was laid by hand without much mortar. Nice old prayer book though.
Kristina Dhima It seems to me that the rough masonry without regular mortar indicates a 17th century construction, perhaps an old village church. The prayer book seems even older than the wall itself.
Василь Олійник It seems to me that the bricks there are uneven and rough, as if they were laid without a special mortar, typical of the beginning of the 18th century. The book is really old, the pages have turned yellow.
Методи Митев The book looks really old, the pages are quite yellowed. Is the church open to visitors during the week and when exactly are the services?
Nicolae Stoica The book looks really old, those yellow pages. Where did you take this picture and when?
Laura Clark The pages do look properly yellowed with age.
Юлія Кравченко I would like to see this book up close, the pages have really yellowed as they should.
George Miller The yellowed pages really catch the eye.
Παναγιώτης Κωνσταντίνου The pages have that yellow that only old paper gets from dampness. In Limassol we have a similar prayer book from 1750 that is kept in our parish and its edges are eaten just like that.
Bogdan Nistor This book looks very old, the pages are quite yellowed and the corners worn. Where did you find it?
Xenia Phillips The brick looks even older than what the others said. This is the little church of St. Demetrius, the services are only on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Gheorghe Popescu The book looks really old, those yellow pages and worn corners. Is Saint Demetrius Church open on other days besides Wednesday and Sunday or are there services only then?
Христо Василев Old pages are well yellowed.
Hana Dvořáková Kniha vypadá fakt stará, ty stránky jsou pořádně zažloutlé. Je ten kostel svatého Dimitrije otevřený i jindy než ve středu a v neděli, nebo jen na ty mše?
