| The beautiful altar of the Church |
Less than a week after we visited this beautiful church, it was robbed and vandalized; multiple chalices were stolen, icons were damaged, and a donation box was robbed.
How very sad.
Hi! This church looks very beautiful. I feel very sorry for the church. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow horrible that it was robbed! I can't help but think there will be an extra hot place in Hell for those who rob churches and molest children or the elderly. So wrong! Thanks for hosting.

ReplyDeleteLovely pics - so sad about the vandalism. Hope you have a wonderful week!
