ROUND#12 - CHURCHES OF THE WORLD - Some Churches of our Small Estonia

Our Estonia is a very small country but churches of different confessions can be found here. The main religion here is Lutheran but we even have an Orthodox Convent in a picturesque place.

The local name of the Convent is Kuremäe and, as we are talking about churches, then the Uspenski Cathedral of that Convent is presented on my pictures.

Lutheran is the main religion in Estonia. In these pictures you can see one of the oldest churches of the country. It is not big (nothing is very big in our little country) but its history is reach I find it beautiful.

Catholic churches.
Even in our tiny town we have an Orthodox and a Catholic churches. The last one is located in close to the sea. You can see it in pictures below.

And one more church to show you which is quite unusual.

Narva-Joesuu had very beautiful Orthodox church built of wood but last year someone vandals burnt it. They have not stopped their services and now have a church in an unusual place, in a building which does not look like a church on the first sight. I believe they will build a new one soon.
