الكنيسة القديمة البيضاء مليانة شقوق وعليها صليب، والنباتات كبرت حواليها. تبدو هادئة وصامدة.

Христо Христов I've seen pictures from Egypt, where in Coptic monasteries they often let plants grow freely around the walls. How long have these cracks been there, I wonder.
Богдан Гончар It is interesting that the walls of that white stone, although cracked, have been holding for hundreds of years. The crosses on them are roughly carved, it is clear that it was not yesterday. And the cracks look as if the building is simply settling slowly over time.
James Bennett The white stone really holds up even with all those cracks. Is the church still used for regular services, and do they let visitors in during the week?
Elena Barbu Yeah, that white rock looks pretty hard even cracked like that. I noticed how the branches of the bush on the right almost covered the cross below, as if to hold it in place.
Галина Зайцева The white stone is strong, but these cracks still look alarming, as if they could expand further at any moment.
Юлія Шевчук The stone is strong, but the cracks are still deep.
Михайло Бойко The stone looks strong, although cracked. Does the church still hold services on Sundays or only on holidays? And do they let people in there just like that, without prior agreement?
ირაკლი აბაშიძე I want to see this place myself one day.
Νίκος Αθανασίου The photo shows that the stone building still holds, even though the cracks are deep. Where and when did you shoot her exactly?
Ana Munteanu That white stone seems to be holding up well, but those deep cracks make me wonder how long it will last before action is taken.
Сергій Лисенко The stone is strong, but those cracks are already so wide that the roots of plants could easily climb into them. I wonder if they are repaired at least once every ten years.
Vladimir Ilić The stone is really durable, but those cracks are already so deep that you can see the roots getting into them. The church is dedicated to St. Mark the Evangelist, so more people always gather on his day.
Δήμητρα Παπαγεωργίου The stone looks solid despite the cracks. When is service held in there, Sundays normally or only on holidays? And do they accept visitors without having to arrange in advance?
Максим Мельник The stone looks solid, although the cracks are deep. And when is the service held there on weekdays, or only on Sundays? And is it possible to come in just like that, without prior agreement?
