Description
Children pray in front of Saint Sava, protector of schools, the Serbian people and the state. They are in an orphanage in Nice, France, some evacuated during the Serbian retreat through Albania to the island of Corfu, in Greece. In this Serbian-American orphanage, children attended school. They lived there, together with other refugees, far from the atrocities of war.
