The Heiromonk Ghost in the Cathedral - Kiev


The Heiromonk Ghost in the Cathedral - Kiev

The Byzantine gold glowed hot when I got inside, a divine signal to me that God was mad because I brought my camera inside. There was a small sign that may very well have read "No Cameras" in a Cyrillic lettering, a lettering style I do not recognize since the Jesuits trained me in the Romance languages and not these Slavic uncials. Besides, I was inside Saint Michael's Cathedral, and I was holding a camera, and, as the saying goes, when in Rome, shoot interiors of churches in Rome, and when in Kyiv, break Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Councils.
