Church of the Holy Spirit, originally uploaded by Monty Elm.

Inside the Church of the Holy Spirit, one of the oldest Orthodox churches in the country. The Baroque iconostasis in three stunning tiers of green, blue and pink, deisgned by the city's outstanding architect, Jan Glaubitz. In front of the iconostasis lies the bodies of 3 14th-Century martyrs, Anthony, Ioan and Eustachius, in a glass casket. They are dressed in red robes (white at Christmas, black at Lent) - i saw them in black (coz it's Lent).
