Oh my god. it's Robby!
spontaneously luminescent
the mile high chapel
that was my destination a couple months back, we drove most of the way in Nugo's "Lada - Neva" then parked near the
radio & satellite towers near the chapel, from there it was a short walk
to it, the first thing I noticed was that the cross on top had been
hacked off, you see this at a lot of religious sites here, but I suppose it is to be expected in a country that suffered under Soviet domination for more than 70 years
next was the view down, which was pretty far, that was as far as I planned on going, but then
Nino and her cousin walked around the edge of the chapel(and the cliff it is situated on), I walked around too and planned on walking back the way I had come, but then they made it clear to me that I was not supposed to go from left to right, only right to left, and you are supposed to do this 3 times before entering the chapel, so I did that.
Once inside, it was pretty small, I took a picture of the small altar, but it was blurry for some reason so this one &
this one of the curtain in front of it will have to do, maybe its for the best, I don't think Nugo wanted me taking pictures in there anyways.
ps: 2 more posts coming up of an ancient(early medieval) church I went to that was "restored" a couple of hundred years ago...
