Almaty's Zenkov Church

Built entirely from wood - and supposedly without any nails - this church is one of the few buildings to survive the big earthquake in 1911. Today it is a colorful part of Panfilov Park in Almaty.

Protestant Church in Qingdao

Built in 1908, this German Protestant Church still functions as a living church and still has a working German clock and bell system. We believe it's the church Audrey's great-grandparents and their children attended in the early 1900s. Read more about the search for Audrey's grandfather's house and the results of the search.  

Russian Orthodox Church in Winter - Tallinn

Rumor is that the Russian Orthodox Church has bad luck because it was built on the site of the remains of Estonia's epoch hero, Kalevipoeg. It always seemed to be under construction of some sort when Audrey lived there.© www.uncorneredmarket.com  

Armenia's Vatican

Echmiadzin, outside of Yerevan, is the seat of the Patriarch (Catholicos) of the Armenian church. Many Armenians call it their Vatican. All Armenian churches in the world use holy oil that originated from this church. ..The church has an impressive treasury where the remains of apostles and saints are held in silver arm-shaped reliquaries (looks a bit like armor). It also holds remains of Noah's ark (supposedly) and the Holy Cross. Read more about Armenia's sights and churches.

Church of San Luca - Bologna, Italy

This church was built in the 1700s and is at the top of the longest portico that leads 2.5 miles down to the Saragozza gates. It was very active on Sunday morning, with mass held almost every hour. © www.uncorneredmarket.com  

Sapa Church

We were told later on that the priest here died not too long ago, but the authorities didn't want him replaced. So, the townsfolk and villagers come to church every Sunday, but they run the ceremony themselves based on memory and the few books they have.The church is in a main town square, so there are street restaurants and street stalls all around. Read more about the hill tribes and trekking in Sapa.

Church Reliefs - Bologna

While Audrey was photographing something else, a local older man advised us to go 50 meters down the street to find something truly beautiful. We came across this little church on a side street. He was right. We couldn't go inside, but the exterior was impressive.© www.uncorneredmarket.com  

Jvari Church Overlooking Mtskheta

Jvari, meaning cross because of its shape, is one of the oldest churches in Georgia (dating back to the 7th century) sits high on a hill overlooking the ancient Georgian capital of Mtskheta. ..The inside of the church is quite plain, but it is still an active church and the atmosphere and views are great. Read more about Tbilisi and our visit to Georgia.  

Inside of Monreale Church - Sicily

What you are seeing here in this not-so-great photo are all mosaics. The inside of the church is covered in intricate mosaics from top to bottom dating from almost 1000 years ago. Monreale was closed up and locked for centuries when it wasn't in use. It is one of the most amazing churches we've ever seen. Highly recommended to take the short trip from Palermo to visit for the day.© www.uncorneredmarket.com

Holy Trinity Cathedral

The Russian population of Karakol first started this church in a yurt in the 1800s. This building was built in 1895, but the Bolsheviks turned it into a club in the 1930s. Now it is reconsecrated as an orthodox church once again.Read more about our visit to Karakol and the rest of Kyrgyzstan.  

Giving Thanks

This family gives thanks by offering up a chicken at Khor Virap Church. Before getting blessed by the priest, the family walked around the church three times with the chicken.
