A wonderful entrance leads up to Saint Goerge's church in Yambol. Many services have been attended here including weddings and christenings.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.
