Sad City Visits A Russian Bazaar

Who doesn't need some nicely decorated wooden eggs?

Anytime we hear the word "bazaar" we are in. It just seems to add an aura of mystery and excitement that "swap meet" or "flea market" just don't convey. Bazaar just seems so exotic, even more so when it's a Russian Bazaar. So when we saw signs for the Russian Bazaar at a church on Scarborough Street, we knew it was a no-brainer Sad City visit.

The Russian Orthodox Church

It's been a while since we had a new post on The Hartford Houses Of Worship. Instead today we revisit our favorite church in Hartford, the Russian Orthodox Church. Tucked deep into the South End and not all that much larger than the multi-families that surround it, the Russian Orthodox Church is easily missed. The first time we came across it we were just cruising around the South End in a residential area and were stunned to suddenly see a trio of gold domes poking out above the trees. It's not the biggest nor the oldest house of worship Hartford, buy it may be the most unique.
