May I recommend to you, "A Walk in Rural Russia", by Soloukhin, Vladimir (Stella Miskin, Translator). It isn't religiously oriented, but it describes some of the beautiful old churches such as at Suzdal(?) and others. The descriptions of the people, trees, flowers, etc., are refreshing.

Absolutely and thank you. I will plug it in on the library website. We just rented The Inspector General and a Gogol movie which was very unusual - about a witch and a priest in training. Anyway I will certainly love this movie you have described here and let you know when I have seen it.
