There is a sacred place,
hidden in the mountain face.
Rhodopa is the name of that mountain,
a homeland of magical music and artists.
A piece of Jesus' Cross is hidden there,
a source of wonders un-compared.

This Forest of the Cross,
this forest of miracles
looks so magical and so bright,
looks almost unphysical
each special Friday night,
under the candle lights...

Many souls in that Forest
like a single soul are sensed.
Everyone is holding candles.
Their prayers are intense...
Their hopes and faith they share.
It's such a unique atmosphere,
which to nothing else compares.

Zillions of falling stars,
zillions of candle lights
enlighten that Magical Forest.
Zillions of human hopes,
zillions of tear drops,
resolving prayers,
pains that stop...

That's the Miraculous
Forest of the Cross,
That's the forest of unexplained wonders.
That's the sacred place of the human faith,
where one feels special energy and ponders...

Psalms 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."

Yes, I would like to go as well... but I guess dreaming can suffice for now

WOW! You've painted a beautiful picture of a dreamy place of hope and rest! Love it!

Blessings!

Till oceans cease to flow and deserts lose their sands, may beauty surround you every day and wealth be in your hands.
