Because it is Russian Orthodox the women have to wear scarves.
The nuns take turns praying for people at this stand 24 hours a day. Each one will take a turn for an hour so prayers are constantly being said for people who have requested prayers to be offered for them. The names are written in a large book.
They make and sell different kinds of icons. This particular one is done with semi-precious stone of different colors crushed then glued onto a marble slat to make the picture. Each color is a different stone. The detail was amazying.
