The monastery….
We had some free time in Bucharest one afternoon, and were drawn to this small monastery by its unusual and very beautiful exterior. Once we entered, it was obvious that the interior was just as lovely. “Stavropoleos Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery for nuns in central Bucharest, Romania. Its church is built in Brâncovenesc style. The patrons of the church (the saints to whom the church is dedicated) are St. Archangels Michael and Gabriel. One of the monastery's constant interests is Byzantine music, expressed through its choir and the largest collection of Byzantine music books in Romania.”
