THE CATHEDRAL OF THE SAVIOR: MOSCOW 



This great structure, erected as Moscow's thank-offering for her dehverance from Napoleon, and com- 

 pleted in 1883 at a cost of seven million dollars, is regarded by artists and architects alike as Russia's 

 masterpiece in cathedral architecture. The eiJects obtained by the blending of red, white and grey marbles, 

 with gold and gilt bronze, quite beggar description. Russia's greatest artists contributed to its mural 

 decoration. There are no seats and no organ, and high and low, rich and poor stand alike throughout the 

 service. Beyond the door of the consecrated chamber behind the altar no woman's foot may tread.
