Hi....whats New?

                                                    
                                                    St Basils, Moscow, Russia

I came across this photo of the cathedral while reading through some interesting blogs, really caught my eye.  It is over 400 years old.

The Cathedral is now a museum. During restoration work in the seventies a wooden spiral staircase was discovered within one of the walls. Visitors now take this route into the central church, with its extraordinary, soaring tented roof and a fine 16^th Century iconostasis. You can also walk along the narrow, winding gallery, covered in beautiful patterned paintwork.

One service a year is held in the Cathedral, on the Day of Intercession in October.

at night...


And now to China for Ice Sculptures
