Orthodox Church of the Nativity of Christ in Bukiškis
The Church is an earthly heaven in which the heavenly God dwells and moves. Standing in the temple, a person learns not only to pray, but to live before the face of God. St John of Kronstadt
Nothing strengthens the soul as much as being in the temple: here the heart gathers itself, the mind is enlightened, and a person once again remembers the purpose of life. St Theophan the Recluse
