Time now to rejoice the mercy of the Creator, and express love and happiness for his coming, the birth of Prophet Mohammad. And, all the mosques are illuminated. For that, it is called as Kandil in turkish, means candle.

Nihal, I always learn something from you. Inside this mosque is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am just back to work this week. It had been so long since I felt like visiting, and I really missed everyone.
I love all the new facts I am reading about, thankyou.

ReplyDeleteNihal, what a nice post! It's really interesting to see the mosque of Tütüncü Mehmet Efendi, very beautiful the inside.
ReplyDeleteAbout the little country churches, I don't think here there is that feeling of "well-kept secret"; I must say sometimes it's a bit hard to find these small ancient places, which surely have a special enchanting timeless atmosphere.
I wish you a very happy weekend! :-)
