Main church. It was quite dark and full of people, this was the best I could do. Camera up at maximum ISO for this.
Detail of ceiling.
The Narthex ceiling showing Pantocrator to the right. The four figures on the central ceiling are S. John the Baptist, the Virgin and two Angels.
Christ Pantocrator in dome of the church.
Detail of the altar.
Christ with gospel on the Narthex over the door to the nave.
I had been told that you would never see a representation of God the father in an icon, but here is one - the blue circle at the top over an image of Jesus' being baptized by John.
