Old stone church bell. The two small stones on top of the big one are used to hit the big one at differnet places to give out different sounds which convey different message for the monks in the island.

Fascinating! I wonder what all the imagery means in the murals. Lots going on there.

Thanks celksy! They are mostly stories from the bible. For example, the first one is picture of St. George. Second one is the birth of Jesus Christ. In the middle of the third one is the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham.

Very interesting and so old church.Wonderful interior.

Fantastic. I love the colour and detail in the murals. From seeing the outside, I would never guess that these murals were inside.

Thanks for sharing these. I love seeing different parts of the world and you have captured this nicely. Most interesting
