Picture of the day

The Dormition Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church in Moscow dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God. The present building, with its five domes representing Jesus and the Four Evangelists, dates to 1475. Since then, it has suffered many disasters, including fires in 1518, 1547, 1682 and 1737, looting, and being used as a stable and as a museum. Several periods of restoration and repair occurred, with the building being restored to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991.

This picture shows the processional northern doorway of the Dormition Cathedral, surrounded by fresco decoration, which also dominates the light and spacious interior of the building.Photograph credit: Joaquim Alves Gaspar
