St. Basil's cathedral, situated at one of the short ends of Red Square,
is a symbol of Moscow. Ivan the Terrible blinded
the architect so he could never build anything like it again.



Here I am being dwarfed by the immensity of Christ the Savior Cathedral,
the lead church in the Moscow Patriarchate.



Christ the Savior was blown up by the Communists
and turned into a massive public heated swimming pool.



It was recently rebuilt and can hold 10,000 worshippers.



The golden domes are particularly lovely at sunset.



This is a tiny chapel in front of the entrance to Red Square.
A service was going on when I was there so I joined in.



Situated on Red Square, Kazan Cathedral was the home of a very sacred icon, the Virgin of Kazan.
Unfortunately this was yet another church destroyed by the Bolsheviks.
It was rebuilt in 1990.



Inside Dormition Cathedral at the Kremlin. This is where I heard
the beautiful singing of the choral group Anima.


My camera died at the Kremlin, so I had to borrow someone else's camera and film to record
the Kremlin churches. Once I get those pictures, this page will expand.
