I didn't get to do much sightseeing in Moscow, what with one thing and another, too busy - too tired and so forth. But there was a monastery in the next road where the monks restored icons, here is the Church Duster. There were also quite a few people who had come in to pray.
I went to a couple of services, each was full, and not just of old ladies either, Mikael visited the big cathedral opposite the Pushkin Gallery which had a weekday Lenten service on - also full. The Russian Church is clearly powerfully alive and very well!
On a different note, over the road was this sculpture gallery, I was supposed to be looking at the statue of Schostakovitch, but was rather taken with this Don Quixote and Sancho Panza....
