This is a picture of the Christ Our Saviour Cathedral in Moscow. Simply beautiful building. I think someone said that several thousand pounds (If not several hundred thousand pounds) of gold went into the construction. See the domes? That is gold, not gold colored stuff. Inside there is even more gold. Gold on everything. Unfortunately, they would not allow us to take pictures inside. That didn't stop me in the Russian Metro either, but unlike the metro, (Strangely enough) there were security guards walking around the inside of the church making sure no one took pictures. I guess they didn't want anyone having a picture of an Icon they could pray to without paying the fee. The title is from a Bible passage where Jesus refers to the Pharisees as Whited Sepulchers, clean and beautiful on the outside, but filled with dead men's bones.
