RE: Aladzha Monastery near Varna, Bulgaria
When a person sees, or if he is lucky enough to come across such a place, it can make him think and completely rethink everything he knows about the world. So now, reading this post, so many questions pop into my head.
It is about structures from the beginning of Christianity, when it was perhaps not yet clear what a monastery meant, monks, what their function was, etc. In fact, the history of the place dates back to before the arrival of Christianity in these lands. So what kind of monks are we talking about? And then, during the Middle Ages, during the Crusades, when it was mostly populated, things got even more messed up, I'm sure.🤭
Well, I'm glad most people don't ask themselves such questions, they just attend, watch, enjoy and move on to the next object...
A great place for sure!
True, so true. This place is really unique and uncovers some much of the past, the culture and the religion...
You raise questions that are all valid. I would disagree a bit, I think many ask themselves such questions, but not everyone chases the answers.
There was a museum built next to the entrance that keeps some of those answers ;)
A great place indeed, thank you! :)
