What it feels like
Beeswax candles, the faint scent of incense, the distant chant from inside. Quiet courtyards walled against the rest of the world.
Mânăstirea Prislop, ctitorită de Sfântul Nicodim în 1399, este locul de pelerinaj al Părintelui Arsenie Boca, ieromonah venerat ca sfânt. Anual, pe 28 noiembrie, zeci de mii de pelerini vin la mormântul acestuia.
