I guess they must be well sealed against water damage and not too much air pollution or vandalism. The ability to preserve these for so long is an impressive accomplishment along with the beauty of the artwork itself.

Great pics. I had the privilege of attending a midnight Easter service at the one in Moldovita several years ago. Talk about a full house; we didn’t even go inside. There were license plates from all over Europe there.

As a pro-life aside, Petru Rares was an illegitmate son of Stefan but still managed to have his own Wikipedia entry 500 years after his time in history. (The old “cel Mare” managed to leave offspring wherever he campaigned and was still awarded sainthood a few years ago …)

(Unwanted) Fetus-Hater Obama can convert them into First Class Abortion Clinics …. good ambience for immediate healing of destroyed wombs,

…. especially now that the Federal funding for abortion clinics is already on its way.

Obama can make another “first for any American president” history.

By the way, that side project I was working on for you… it’s on hold for the foreseeable future. No one has been able to provide me with the information we’re looking for.

Incredibly beautiful. My son and his wife were married in a Russian Orthodox church in DC….which was just beautiful inside.

Thanks for sharing these. These days it seems nothing is good news, photos are inspirational.
