This is a start to a sequence of image posts based on some of the pictures I shot in Russia. Starting on a holy note, we visited numerous churches during our trip and each one was them was spectacular. Some large, some small but all of them equally beautiful. I think It is difficult to convey the beauty and details in words and tricky with pictures sometimes. I hence decided to go along in creating deepzoom imagery to really drive the beauty of these structures.

This was the smallest church we visited in the whole trip. Somewhere in Ekaterinburg and in my enthusiasm, I forgot to note the name down. I am sure someone will step up in filling for my memory loss. Please do let me know the name so that I can have a proper document for interested visitors. Till then enjoy the imagery.
This is the Chapel of St. Catherine and is right here.

I am unable to find much history of this chapel, but feel free to let me know in the comments.

It may be the Church on Blood as it was constructed upon the tombs of the Czars, where they were executed.

Found the info on internet:
The St. Catherine chapel. Originally, it was the first cathedral of Yekaterinburg built by the founders in 17th century. In the 1930’s it was destroyed per Stalin’s order and 1990, reborn in the form of a small chapel. Hope this helps.:)
