These are beautiful. However whenever I see pictures like these I think of an itinerant who lived 2000+ years ago and said things like "take what you have and sell it and give it to the poor." and wonder what he would say about all the things which have been done (built etc.) in His name.
This is absolutely beautiful! I see the stars in the ceiling, the tiles are stunning. Likewise the stained glass. As a place of worship, this is a place to contemplate in the realm of beauty and glory...
Beautiful Church.....love all the detail in the windows...You had wondered about my red leaf pile. It was japanese and striped (yellow) leaves just raked into a pile and then I looked down and thought it looked pretty......Michelle
Great reds but it's the blues in these images which really captivate me. They quite remind me of the special shade of blue of Chartres Cathedral (aptly named "Chartres Blue").

So ornate. Lovely details. For a minute, I imagined the church as in Italy. Though the outside looks like New Jersey.
Thank you. Enjoyed visiting the Orth art!

Those are wonderful photos, Dianne! Such a colorful, vibrant church. So much more cheerful than the Catholic churches I remember as a child. . .
Wonderful photos. Love the stained glass window.
Lovely and colourful.
The art is so beautifully rich in colours! You'd have to experience a feeling of awe entering this church no matter what your religious beliefs!
You shot beautiful pictures !
Breathtaking place and fantastic pictures!

Hi Dianne,
I'm back again to say how beautiful the blue is. :)
love the different patterns!
Wow, beautiful! I love the stained glass. Such a great idea, I wish we had more of it!
Such a great collection of blues!
Oh, I bet there was so much to photograph there. You got some really great shots! I think that second-to-last one is my favorite.
Don't you just love those icons in the Orthodox churches! You found some real beauties, wonderful works of art.

Quite a tour of an impressive place. Time means nothing when creating these.
What opulence, huh? It is very grand inside those huge places. My favorite thing is always the amazing glass work of the windows.
You got some really gorgeous shots, luv!
I like elephants too! I am a bleeding heart for all animals but particularly elephants, octopusses and crows. :-)
