About Slovenia:
One of the most picturesque countries in all of Eastern Europe, Slovenia is roughly the size of the state of Massachusetts and has a population of just over 2 million people. Slovenia lies east of Italy and north of Croatia.
Christianity came to Slovenia in the 8th century through Irish monks and missionaries from the Byzantine Empire and the majority of its population today remains Catholic. Almost every village has a church and you find countless roadside shrines throughout this country.
