St. Theodosius Cathedral

the interior of this Russian Orthodox cathedral, which was built in 1912, is gorgeous. And the copper onion domes on top are very impressive. An adjacent building has a small exhibit about the history of the place. Services are now primarily conducted in English not Russian or Old Slavonic, since many members of the congregation are not Russian or do not speak Russian. This church was featured in the film «The Dear Hunter». Apparently this cathedral was modeled after a famous one in Moscow, Church of Christ the Savior. (I have visited the rebuilt version of that, Stalin had the original torn down to utilize the 20 tons of gold in the onions and interior and then under Kruschev the site was used to build what was at the time the World’s largest outdoor swimming pool. Some of the marble from the original was used for Moscow Metro)
