If I'm not wrong, that's a Orthodox church?
The whole style of building, interior design and icons look very similar to ours (Serbian).
By the way, this is a very first time I read your blog. And to be honest, I love the way your express yourself. Can't wait for more blogs by you
It is a monastery where only females live and pray.
I am not big on various western religions because I lived mostly in a predominately Hindu culture, my partner was Balinese. I did learn so much from the Bali Land those 16 years, living right in the middle of " Om Swastyastu" vibrations.
I am so pleased to find you here or that you actually found me :)
One of my Best friends is from Serbia and my nieces father also from there.
I truly appreciate your kindness!
I got a bit tired writing for the public but there are over 400 articles so far on steemit.
I focus more on my own book these days because I can be even more honest :)
Yeah I checked out, it is Orthodox monastery, which actually is not a western religion, it's eastern :-)
It may look like the same thing (Orthodox and Catholic Christianity) but they are not. They were in war against each other for centuries. Catholics were always trying to destroy Orthodox religion and convert them to be under Popes throne...but that's a story for another time.
Everyone knows someone from Serbia, we're all over the world :-)
So, you're a book writer...that's awesome. And that means I'll try to talk to you again, sooner or later. Mainly because I'm launching a new business around book writers, which is working with small (non celebrity) writers who have troubles publishing a book and getting readers.
Shortly said, we pay writers to do what they love doing :-)
You are right ....my bad! Its "eastern" religion ....but what about Russia ? I am so bad with my knowledge about religions in detail.
More replies follow :)Just got back from my trip and move to a new flat ...busy busy bee!
Russia is the main eastern country. For Orthodox Christians, Russia is like Vatican. They are also the "protectors" of Orthodox Christians for last few centuries. That's why Vatican is against them. Russia refused to serve under Popes boots because all humans should be equal, none should raise above others.

There's one fact and a photo that is very amazing to us Serbs and Orthodox Christians.
Our version of Pope is called Patriarch. Until few years ago our Patriarch was "Pavle". One incredible and very humble man, with supper positive energy.
You probably saw many times (on TV or pictures) Popes car and how he travels, expensive car made just for him.
But our ex-Patriarch (died few years ago unfortunately) travel like this:
That's original photo of him going to work.
PS:
Wish you all the best in the new flat :-)
