After the change of power in Syria, there was much news about the desecration of shrines and attacks on Christians by Islamists and Israel. However, there was still hope that the situation would stabilise and once peaceful coexistence would be restored.
Now, however, the situation has deteriorated many times over - due to the attempted Alawite uprising, all non-Muslims are being attacked indiscriminately, and there has been a real massacre in the coastal towns. I won't post photos and videos of these horrors here - all are easily found on the internet. Pray for our brothers and sisters in the east - for their safety and freedom from centuries of oppression!

An abandoned villa of Pecho Semov near Gabrovo. The owner was a famed philanthropist and industrialist, often being nicknamed "Rockefeller of Bulgaria"

While Baroque and its details persisted in Austro-Hungary well into the XIX century, especially in the more conservative regions, including the Austrian-controlled parts of Serbia, some neoclassical elements have appeared relatively early - take, for example, this late-18th century portal of Saint George church in Tovariševo.

The mysterious ruins of Cardo Maximus of ancient Apamea in Syria.
Built in the second century after the earthquake, the city's main street was huge, and adorned on both sides by a long colonnade, one of the largest in the Empire. Justinian carried out a reconstruction of the monument, giving it even more splendour.
Right behind the colonnade began the buildings, and the distance between the columns and their facades itself is like a whole street. This passage is captured in the photo.

Today we remember the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Church of Russia - thousands of people known to us by name, and perhaps millions unknown - who suffered from the godless Soviet experiment. Then, already 9 centuries as Christian, Russia faced persecution, in its cruelty and scale comparable only to that experienced by Christians in ancient Rome - taking the main blow of the Communists, the consequences of which are still keenly felt in the country.
In honour of today's date, so mournful, and at the same time sanctified by the greatness of the steadfastness of the faithful, I propose to look at the physical embodiments of the rebirth from the ashes of the Russian Church - the most beautiful churches dedicated to the holy New Martyrs and Confessors - from the large-scale catholicon in the Sretensky Monastery, to the church at the infamous Butovo polygon, where only officially 321 people were canonised, while more than 20,000 were killed in total.

A rather typical for many Greek churches of the XIX and the early XX centuries mix of Neo-Byzantine and Neo-Classical styles in the Saint Demetrius church of Kontopouli.
