So we are celebrating Easter this Sunday for it is the holiest of holidays. And to celebrate I want to share the interior of Saint Andrew’s Cathedral with you. You may have already seen the exterior in this post. But I wanted to save the interior for a separate post.
I will also try to keep the yapping to a minimum and let the images do the talking.

Looking towards the back of the church and on the upper level is the “Geinekonitis” where the women and children traditionally stayed to be segregated from the men. It is now used as extra space for the church, where segregation no longer exists.
The Iconostasis (a screen bearing icons, separating the sanctuary from the nave) is on either side of the doors.
There are many mosaics depicting religious themes.
And this one of the interior of the church. In this video you can actually get a better idea of the space and how large the chandelier is.

Can you imagine being on a scaffold and trying to paint that on the ceiling?

Churches here in Kentucky are usually very plain. I love seeing all of the detail in your photos. This is a very beautiful place. Thank you for linking up today and have a blessed weekend.

Thank you Michelle, all of them in Greece have some sort of icons on the walls. And lots of color.
