Inspired Sunday - Holy Virgin Cathedral - August 3, 2014

The Holy Virgin Cathedral, Joy of all who Sorrow, located in San Francisco,

California, is the largest of six cathedrals of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Construction, begun in 1961, was completed in 1965,

St. John, who died in 1966, is buried within the church.  Its five onion domes are

covered in 24-carat gold leaf and the interior is filled with beautiful art, icons, and

paintings.  One must attend a service to see them and interior photography is

not permitted.

Signs, Signs - A Sign Near the Vatican in Rome - August 8, 2013

It has been awhile since I participated in this meme which I really enjoy.  I
haven't seen any really interesting signs lately - but I was going through some
pictures from my 64th birthday in Rome, nearly five years ago now, and came
across this one at a little cafe where I stopped for a bite to eat while my 
friends were finishing up a tour I had already taken.  You had to step down
to get into the little eatery and I got a kick out of the sign above the steps.

I can think of a few other places a sign like that might be a good idea!!!
