Description
These elderly women hang out at the Pochaiv Monastery, for what purpose I'm not sure. On the surface they appear to be soliciting donations for the monastery. However, when I tried to take pictures in a certain room one of them, there are many more, was quick to remind me that photography was forbidden. Although I could have easily just told her to go f... herself, I respected the command. This is a limited edition of 12 in any size that is available.

YURI, this is interesting that photographing these women is forbidden...possible because they don't want to get in trouble. Whatever the case, thank you for getting this photo. FL
Yuri Lev replied:
Thank you for your visit and comment Debby. It's not the women that were forbidden to be photographed, but certain rooms that contained holy objects and prayers.

Oh Yuri this world breaks my heart because of its lack of kindness and love .
Yuri Lev replied:
Yes Lavonne, the world has really grown horns in the past four years. If only more people felt like you.

I think some of the most naturally beautiful women are from the Ukraine … Wonder if this place is damaged now Yuri
Yuri Lev replied:
Is it damaged sociologically? Yes. The young men are getting killed, children are being stolen and taken to Russia, China and places unknown, while the young women look to marry well to do foreigners in order to escape the hell hole. Things are not as bad in the western part of the country, but we'll wait and see. I appreciate your interest in this topic LaVonne.

Great photo and I'm happy that you didn't treat this noble lady with a thicker word. :)
Yuri Lev replied:
I appreciate the humor of your comment Jerzy. Although some of them are less than noble it’s still supposed to be a holy place.
