Comrat (Gagauzia): The Eastern Orthodox Church


Really enjoyed going inside the Orthodox church in the centre of Comrat, Gagauzia.


Unlike many Orthodox churches I've been in, tourists were perfectly free to take pictures inside here.  In the picture below, you can see that an Orthodox priest is helping a couple of men with some kind of manual work near the iconostasis:


Think that the icon/painting below may be of St. Nicholas:


Also found this Orthodox church a lot less dark than many others I've been in:


Just appreciated being able to freely take shots of the religious paintings/icons so that I can remember the place better:
