This church in Bucharest has faceless saints, and it’s not for the reason you think.

The truth might go even deeper, and it involves faith itself.

Built in 1724, this church stands from a time when Romania was under Ottoman rule.

Back then, the written language was Cyrillic, and religious texts were in Greek.

It was also a period of artistic growth, this church reflects the Brâncovenesc style perfectly.

The faceless saints? They’re tied to Ottoman invasions.

Sometimes soldiers would enter and vandalize churches, erasing the saints’ faces.

Today, the church keeps them as they are, a reminder of endurance through hardship.
