Tallinn

Orthodox Church in the Upper Town
There is a wall around the town, and a zig-zag moat, now a park, on the west side, just like the one in Bremen. The town has an upper part and a lower part. We ascend a narrow stairway and pass through an ancient gate to find an orthodox church in full service, with a well-tuned choir echoing the priest’s intonements, and the many older women in scarves step aside as he does a tour of the building with his can of smoke to expel the evil spirits.
