St. Basil - June 24

We came back just in time to see Aunt Vera's blooming cacti. 





During the day Mother Philophea took us on a tour of several of the churches around the red square. In the evening we enjoyed dinner at her flat along with an overview of Russian Iconography, since she "writes" icons herself.














St. Basil is very impressive inside, each of the towers considered to be a separate cathedral within the structure.









Ice cream!
