Church in Ohrid

Church dedicated to St John the Baptist. The guys on the left are having a few beers. I also went to visit a church dedicated to Mary, where there were lots of families sitting around having coffee and celebrating (it's Sveta Bogorodica day). My host explained to me that many churches here are "living" churches-- people actually use them actively. That church was especially comfortable; it had couches and cushions on the altar seats. I liked it; it felt like a place you could go to pray and feel comforted.
