Doors at Haci-Baktas Monastery in Turkey

I minded my 6 month old grandson Jaska for the first time yesterday while his Mum was working. I had him from 10am until 4pm and although he was happy enough he only slept for a little over an hour, so I had no time for my usual activities. I will be having him each Friday until I go on holidays at the end of August. We did manage to get in a short walk but the weather in Sunbury is quite cool at the moment and rain was threatening so I didn't want to venture too far.
Today I have been to a "Christmas in July" Gala luncheon. These 'Christmas in July' themes are quite popular in Australia as it is often too hot in December for the traditional Christmas dinner. Even the supermarkets get into the theme by having turkey, mince pies and plum puddings on sale during July!
I have time to add a few more doors tonight.

The Baktashi Dervishes are a Muslim sect but they have many Christian tenets as well
 

There is a different door at each entrance to the monastery complex
