Thanks for the pictures!
Saint Petersburg is one of the most imperial, majestic and elegant cities in Europe in my opinion. I was there ten years ago - as well as in Moscow - and it was simply mind-blowing! As a matter of fact Saint Petersburg and Moscow are two cities instilling power and grandeur with their architecture. BTW, I realized that on top of the towers of Saint Isaac´s Cathedral there are crosses but at their base, some sort of half moon. Does it have any meaning? What is it? |

2nd version - It comes from pre-1453 Byzantium where half moon was the symbol of throne There are many other versions. For example, half moon may symbolize an anchor for a Christian's soul (Hebrews 6:18-19) St Isaac's Cathedral ![]() «Наш великан.....IMG_0031BE.jpg» на Яндекс.Фотках ![]() «Накупольный крест с полумесяцем» на Яндекс.Фотках The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood ![]() http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/cyberusso/view/963983/ ![]() «Спас на Крови.» на Яндекс.Фотках
