Two of the most ornate Spires
Here is part of the Crowd waiting to get in
It is so massive that the image gets distorted by the camera
The top most Spire is under construction for renovation
This is the carriage with the hole in it that Alexander was riding
The carriage from the back
We do not have to wait in line since our tourguige had an Express line to get our tickets
This is how it would look on a sunny day
This is the view that the workers would have while they're working on the Uppermost dome
The ceilings are so very tall and every square inch is covered in mosaics
Wooden Chapel is on the inside and in the chapel are cobblestones that the sacred blood was spilled upon
The chandeliers were as impressive as the ceilings
There was a model of the building inside the building
Icons on the chapel were original. Chalk outlines of where the icons used to be
Mosaic work hundreds of feet up in the air
The ceiling above one of the interior chapels
Doors like you've never seen before
All the parts go together
Even the floor was a piece of art
The cobblestones are below this alter
The original cobble stones are here
A place for candles
I like the contrast of light in this picture
This is a picture of a bomb that landed in the roof during World War II. The interior was used as a morgue during the war
Departing the church
There was a long line out of tourists and shops leading to the church
