The territory of the temple complex and the exterior decoration

It is noteworthy that a unique cross, made especially for this church, crowned the church of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky. The parish in Nagatinskoye Zaton, together with the rector, decided to install such an exceptional cross, but the very idea of \u200b\u200bmaking belonged to the rector - Father Michael (Shmanov). The height of the cross is 4.5 meters, in addition, it is decorated with splashes of colored glass, which shine very beautifully in the dark. The priest suggested in this way to combine modern technologies and traditional canons of architecture.
