Refugees at Rilo Monastery

Refugees at Rilo Monastery

These poor Christian fugitives from the Turkish villages of Macedonia have fled, in fear of massacre, across the frontier into Bulgaria, seeking the protection of the Monks of Rilo Monastery, in the Balkans. They are in a deplorable condition, with little or no money, and almost without clothing, many having crossed the rugged and snowy mountains (in the clothing they are here depicted, some being barefooted), fleeing from districts hundreds of miles from their present sanctuary.
