Andrew,

Thanks for the photos - both beautiful temples.

Is the GC church in the process of reconstruction? (I'm guessing that it will replace the small white building to the side - which I presume is the chapel that you referenced.)

Many years,

Neil

The GC is also being built. Just the inside got done before the outside, whereas the orthodox church it seems like they'll finish the exterior before doing the interior. I peeked in the white chapel as well, and now it seems to be used as a parish hall, but was clearly built first as a chapel. Much of the surrounding neighborhood is still being built, it was clearly just fields before then. Like I said, when I moved here last year, there was no sign of either of the churches.

I do really want to find out what the other church, further in the distance is. But that will have to wait till the next day we can take spending hours at the border crossing. In our village we feel really like we are in the middle-of-nowhere, when in fact three miles away is a pretty large city!

Thank you for this link, the google translation is 'rough', but sort of understandable anyway!
