Uspenski Cathedral

Completed in 1868 in the Katajanokka district of Helsinki, the Uspenski Cathedral is the largest orthodox church in Western Europe. With it's golden cupolas and redbrick facade, the church is one of the clearest symbols of the Russian impact on Finnish history (stated best by the Helsinki Visitors Guide) Needless to say I was speechless...

I am so happy you are amazed by Finland. Check out the Cathedral schedule, sometimes they have conserts there. Awesome!
Did you try any of the many "Grilli" kiosks outside?
Enjoy. iina, Julies friend

Did you know the church in Uniontown is a Greek Orthodox church and Hot Rod and I were married there. I know you've seen it before. It is so beautiful inside. The Upsenki Cathedral looked great. Good photo! Mombo
