Inside it is quiet and bright, the lamps burn evenly. Books and candles are neatly arranged on the shelves, everything is simply as in a home.

Helen Anderson The brickwork on those walls looks like it's from the late 1800s. Those thick beams must have been hand-cut back then. Nice and sturdy.
Методи Костов Yes, and this is a church named after St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, that's why the icons and books are arranged so modestly.
Κατερίνα Γεωργίου Methodius says it well, which is why the images are so simple. The walls have held up well for so many years.
Mary Thomas The icon of St Nicholas on the shelf is the one I always notice first in that photo. The simple arrangement really suits a church dedicated to him.
George Wright Yeah the way those books and candles are laid out so neatly makes the whole place feel properly lived in.
ალექსანდრე ხუციშვილი Indeed, books and candles are arranged in such a way that you will not reach out in vain.
Александар Ристески Yes, the books are arranged according to the old Macedonian custom, each in its place. In Ohrid, many such corners have an icon of St. Clement that can be seen at first glance.
Ηλίας Παναγιωτόπουλος The brick walls there still bear the marks of the old fire of 1890 that hit the area. The candles do indeed burn steadily.
Ilie Constantinescu Yes, the books and candles are carefully placed. Please tell me, where and when did you take this photo?
Андрій Бойко Yes, the lamps really burn steadily, even when there is no draft. And where exactly was it filmed, Ilye?
