I live less than 2 miles from Transfiguration and pass immediately by it two or three times a week, but must confess that I haven't been inside in probably 2 deacades - clearly the time has come for a return visit. It has always been a very beautiful temple but that beauty has clearly now risen to a new level - one of Wow and double Wow, as David and Kolya have said.
Mosaic iconography is indeed magnificent and, as Nataly, notes expensive - which is why one usually only sees it on a small level. This is extraordinary!
Thank you, Rose, for finding this.
Many years,
Neil

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia has a number of mosaic icons and a lot of pictures. http://ukrcathedral.com/property_pics.html

Beautiful! Would the crowned lady saint be St Helen of Constantinople? If so, would it be possible to get a copy of this picture for a book I am writing. Do please contact me in private!
Thank you!
