Before Mass

As an Orthodox Christian, I am unable to receive sacraments outside the Orthodox Church. Still, it is nice to use my prayer rope in the quiet evening hours, surrounded by others at prayer. http://flic.kr/p/pFZn2e

The 8th century baptistry and 9th century church are closed off for archeological work and restoration. I was disappointed at not getting to see more than this, but glad to know these buildings are being cared for. http://flic.kr/p/pLPz8c
