Misshomespun WOW!!! so much beauty, so much money that could have been used elsewhere...
NanaMomStretch I think all of the monasterys, churches, and places of worship that you and the group took pictures of are beautiful. The people of Russia make religion an important part of their lives. I wish Americans did that more.
camerashy Oh, boy I have been waiting to see these..this one is just wonderful!
MIKEDONAHUE wow, thats quite a sight
Wow, incredible beauty! I love your comments on the dress (and everything else!)! LOL! The money that goes into these churches is incredible. I used to question it especially in Mexico, and the people ther say "we want to give glory to God for what he has given us". Ok, I won't argue with that.
