The Entrance to a Moscow Church

Yesterday I had a walk in the centre of my native city; I was walking past the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Pechatniki, a beautiful building that had seen several stages in its development, from 1695 well into the beginning of the 20th c. It is a listed building, but I was impressed by the entrance (which is closed, incidentally, you need to use the one in the main road): the spruces covered with snow, the wooden doors, the whitewashed stone, and the icon above the doors, it is almost everything you would expect a Russian church to look like!
