The first Orthodox church we saw. The Orthodox Church is the heir of all the Christian communities of the eastern half of the Mediterranean. His theological doctrine was established in a number of councils, of which the most important are the first so-called Seven Ecumenical Councils, which took place between centuries IV and VIII. After several disagreements and conflicts, the Orthodox Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church broke in the so-called Schism of East and West, July 16, 1054. Orthodox Christianity spread in Eastern Europe thanks to the prestige of the Byzantine Empire and the work of many missionary groups.














In Novi Sad were in the hostel Downtown. This, though comfortable and homey was in a building that almost was falling down.













In Novi Sad we were very comfortable and we loved its small but vital historic center.
