Iconostasis in the Russian Orthodox Church #376216 02/24/12 05:09 AM

Nataly Member Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 157 Russia	I would like to show different kind of iconostases of the Russian Orthodox Church. From the Byzantine iconostasis (with one tier of icons) to the tall iconostasis with 5 tiers, which appeared in the XV th century (first in the Cathedral of The Assumption in Moscow Kremlin in 1408-1411). Byzantine iconostasis in the “Home Church” in the Theological Academy http://azbyka.ru/parkhomenko/foto/index.php?act=viewfoto&id=1735 Iconostasis with only two tiers of icons. Cathedral of Resurrection in Novodevichij Monastery in St. Petersburg http://azbyka.ru/parkhomenko/foto/index.php?act=viewfoto&id=1494 A laconic iconostasis in St. Panteleimon Church in the Society of Orthodox doctors of St. Petersburg http://azbyka.ru/parkhomenko/foto/index.php?act=viewfoto&id=1495 Diesis and the first tier of icons http://azbyka.ru/parkhomenko/foto/index.php?act=viewfoto&id=1502 5 tiers of icons http://azbyka.ru/parkhomenko/foto/index.php?act=viewfoto&id=1493 http://azbyka.ru/parkhomenko/foto/index.php?act=viewfoto&id=1732

The artwork at this Orthodox Church in Romania: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23837911@N08/3113137044 ...linked above here... http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/iconostas/Interesting ...looks improbably similar to the artwork of this Roman Catholic mission church in New Mexico: http://www.holypilgrim.us/Santuario.html
