Saint Basil's Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, is one of Russia's most iconic and visually striking landmarks.
It may not be to everyone's taste; however, it is undoubtedly a spectacular sight.

Another feature of many Cathedrals is the rood screen in Europe.
A rood screen sits between the chancel and navel and would contain a sculptural depiction of the Crucifixion.

Wonderful thread. Pondering symbolism is a wonderful meditation for the mind, and ritual a wonderful way of crystalizing it in practice.

The building of cathedrals required descendants to make into a reality the seemingly impossible ideas of their ancestors.
This shared multi-generational vision is beautiful.
