Photographer’s Note
I took this picture from inside the restaurant in Hotel Tomorri. From its window you can see the mosque and the church facing each other. You are bound to question what this proximity means, religious harmony, competition or that they were build there without asking the locals! No one knows for sure, the only certain thing is that Albanians have got a very Laissez-faire attitude towards religion. Not many Albanians will “consult” the religion when they decide what to eat, to dress, who to marry or even where they would like to be buried.
Je prenais cette photo de l’intérieur du restaurant de l’hôtel Tomorri. De cette fenêtre on peut voir la mosquée et l’église opposite l’un l’autre. Il est raisonnable de mettre en question ce que cette proximité signifie : harmonie, compétition ou qu’elles ont été battues sans demander la permission des gens locaux ! Personne n’est pas dire avec certitude, la seule chose certaine est que les Albanais tiennent une laisse-faire attitude ver les religions. Il n’y a pas beaucoup des Albanais que consultent les religions quand ils décident ce qu’ils (elles) mangent, leurs code vestimentaire, avec que se marier ou même où ils veulent être enterres.

Hello Aleks,
An original view of the centre of Berati and an interesting note about the relaxed Albanian attitude to religion. Before looking carefully at the photo I imagined it was taken through one of the famous windows of the old town, but Hotel Tomorri is something quite different. (I was surprised to find it full when I asked for a room there).
Regards,
Gert
