This is the group in front of the Statue honoring the first women to be sainted by the Orthodox Church. She was a princess, but refused to get married and instead devoted her life to God and helping other people. Her bones are At St. Efrasinnia Monastery where thousand visit yearly to pay their respect.
Interesting stone--remind you of anything?
Legend has it if you touch this stone and make a wish, it will come true and you will have good luck.
St. Efrasinnia Monastery for women.
The women that visit are required to wear scarves and dresses.

Mom you look so cute in that scarf!
Cute babuskas!
I'm glad to see you were able to show Susan and Randy what we were doing on your mission.
You and Susan look like natives.
This was a fun day. Oxana was such a fun girl to met and have her show us around. We had to wear head scarfs in a lot of the churches in Russia also.
