St. Sophia's Cathedral


The bell tower










I'm a little obsessed with the bell tower . . . 





The actual cathedral










More bell tower

This is the one part of the cathedral we were able to take pictures of inside. It is made up of 15,000 Ukrainian Easter eggs!

Some info about it

This is a statue of a famous hetman and St. Michael's Cathedral (Across from St. Sophia's)

Outside the cathedral


Yesterday we got to go to St. Sophia's Cathedral and it was the most beautiful place I have ever been to in my life!! Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures inside because it will fade the frescoes and paintings, but I was able to take pictures of the outside. It was originally built about a thousand years ago, but some changes were made in the 17th and 18th centuries.
