In the pics for the last Liturgy of Met Tikhon of Pskov, we get one of the best glimpses of the interior of the 1-year old [ by consecration ] Cathedral of the Resurrection and the New Martyrs :
However, I feel that the altar below the frescos looks cold and a tad forbidding. The image of the Cathedral's altar did NOT show up here, either due to my mistake or an automatic protection from use for a wrong purpose.
Spectacular new Church to arise over Lubyanka Sq.

Do you have a link so that we can view the entire image?
I like how the deacon leads the people in prayer, and how all or most women are veiled. What a contrast to western forms of worship!
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
