It looks like a very peaceful place. I loved the photos with the candles, I haven't seen a place to put them like that for a long time, now it seems that it is better to put them on a table and that's it, although those candle holders seem to me to be more practical.
It's a very special place for prayer and reflection. Those candle holders are definitely a unique feature, and they add to the overall ambiance.
I would love to visit this soon!
