The golden baroque iconostasis inside St. Michael's Cathedral

Magnificent interior of St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral with its sumptuous baroque iconostasis entirely covered in gold. The imposing structure features rows of sacred icons framed by elaborate golden carvings that shimmer in the light of candles and chandeliers. Orthodox faithful gather in prayer before the main altar, while votive candles illuminate the mystical atmosphere of this spiritual sanctuary. The walls frescoed with images of saints and biblical scenes complete this extraordinary example of Orthodox sacred art that represents the religious heart of Ukraine.
