Mini Church in Yambol Retail Park

 When Yambol Retail Park was created they made a plan to build a mini church there. Such a good idea in this evil materilistic world we live in to get a place to reflect the real values of life.

St Nicholas Church Rises Above The Long Grass in Yambol

It was very noticeable that the long grass in the church of St. Nicholas grounds needed attention. However I took the opportunity to capture the church rising above the overgrowth before the grass cutter arrive; and they will soon.

The Cost of Candles in Yambol's Churches

When ever we visit a Yambol Church we used to light up a handful of candles. But in recent time the price has doubled and we now buy a solitary candle. Many feel that the church is a business and the servants of the faith live a wealthy. I have to agree, This picture of the price of candles is displayed. Pretty expensive for a bit of wick and wax!

Yambol's St Troica Church

Behind the dustbin is Yambol's St Troica Church. This is another grand place of worship in the Kargon area of Yambol tucked away in the mainly residential area 3 kilometres form the city centre. Like all the other churches in Yambol the gates of the church ground and the church itself are open every day.

The Entrance To Yambol's St George's Church

Yambol's St Nikolai's Church Ready For Christmas

Another angle in December of St Nikolai's Church and just before the busiest time of the year which is very good for church business. Like may Bulgarians I speak to, the church is a business and always does well and enhanced in a recession as more people pray for better times ahead. We will be there on Christmas Day along with thousands of others who still have a great respect for the religious calander whilst not being fanatical about it.

Yambol's Roman Catholic Church

Unless you are Catholic in Yambol you are unlikely to know about this church. It is half tucked away in a street with many similar grand styled architecture. It is Yambol's Catholice Church. Having never actually seen anyone entered the church the only reason I found out was because at the back of the church are offices where you pay your yearly housing tax. Speaking to people there I was duly informed about this impressive building. One Sunday morning if I'm passing, I may enter to see inside.

Litter Bins in Yambol

I found a couple of litter bins in Yambol today. they are situated just outside the town centre in the park grounds of the church but use by Bulgarian walking past the road adjacent. They aren't new but well used, looked after and respected. they look new because they had just been recently painted. They may be only litter bins but oh how refreshing it is to see such a site in perfect condition!
