I can almost smell the coldness of this place. I love the old places--

What a different experience this would be. It reminds me of the earliest days of the church - how would it have been like to have to worship on the sly and in danger and in secret?

I wonder how old this cave is?

Fascinating! Any idea of its age?

Lovely! It looks very old, but the fresco's still have vibrant colours. Would be very interested to see this!

I agree, it's amazing how the colors are still bright. A deliciously old place :)
