Hiking

The pictures and sculptures of the original church were removed in the mosque according to the "you should not make yourself a picture". The walls were whitewashed. Only mihrab and minbar were set up. The given direction of construction of the church (west-east) was crossed by 90 degrees by the orientation towards Mecca.
