Other Pictures from the Orthodox Christmas Eve

Since I was downtown for the Orthodox Christmas Eve I decided to walk around a little bit and take a few other pictures.  There are a few churches and mosques in that area.

First, here are a few pictures of the Gazi Husrev Bey's Mosque which is said to be the most important Islamic house of worship in all of Bosnia and was built in 1531




Second, is the Cathedral of Jesus' Sacred Heart which I believe is a Roman Catholic Church and was built in 1889.



Last was another Orthodox Church.  I do not have the name of it or any other information but they allowed me to take some pictures inside.  It was very nice but what I found most interesting was that they had a kiosk inside where they were selling religious items like candles, pictures of Jesus and Calendars.  That's actually why we went here, because the people I was with said they needed to pick up a calendar.  We walked by the kiosks out on the street and they went in the church.  I said to the person next to me, "I thought they said they needed a calendar?"  They said, "Yeah, they're inside."  I said, "They sell calendars inside?"
