a large golden iconostasis with icons embedded and elaborate swinging doors conceals the space behind the altar. there is a white ceramic jug of red tulips and white daffodils in the foreground.

an iconostasis is an interior wall which conceals/protects the divine space behind the altar — part of the glamor of orthodoxy I’m moved by (v different from Protestantism!) this one is in a small church outside of Chyhyryn, Ukraine 🇺🇦
