This church was built into the side of a cliff. The story passed around from locals is that a priest was being chased on his horse by Muslims. He came to a cliff and promised God that if he survived the jump that he would come back and build a church in that place. He and his horse lived and he built a church in the wall of the cliff.
The inside of this church was no where near as elaborate or as beautiful as the inside of the "no-photographing" monastery, but it was still remarkable.
People would kiss the center of this picture and then walk under it.
People lit candles for loved ones.
There was a street fair right outside of the church. It had the most delicious honey balls...they are fried dough balls dipped in honey.
