The ceiling in this old church is something else — all those bricks laid in such careful patterns high above the columns. It makes you stop and look up every time.

Васил Стефанов These bricks are so precisely arranged that one wonders how they were raised so high without scaffolding. How old is this masonry?
Сергей Белов In such old vaults, bricks are laid almost without mortar, one to one, which is why it lasts for centuries. I wonder how many rows there are to the keystone.
Атанас Николов The bricks are really arranged like a puzzle. The church is dedicated to Saint Athanasius the Great, that's why I also stop under this arch more often. I don't know exactly how many lines there are next to the key, but apparently they calculated everything well.
James Bennett Those bricks really do fit like a puzzle. Never thought about counting the rows to the keystone before.
Олександр Бойко The bricks are really like a puzzle, one wonders how long they counted the rows. The church belongs to Saint Athanasius the Great, so the services there are always more peaceful.
سمير خوري The bricks on this roof are really neatly arranged, and I know that the church of St. Athanasius the Great in the area was built in the 17th century and the outer walls still retain the same old mortar.
أنطون حداد The bricks really seem to be firmly attached without moving from place after all these years. The church is dedicated to Saint Athanasius the Great, and this makes one ponder the precision with which they built it.
