Cathedral of the Assumption

 

This cathedral is such an accessible example of the teaching function of icons to an illiterate population in the 15th century. The iconostasis, as in all orthodox churches , separates the sanctuary from the main part of the church as well as symbolizes the boundary between the spiritual and temporal world.
