Adını arattığınızda çıkan sameba katedrali ile ilgili biraz kafa karışıklığı var. Ara sokakta yer alan bu güzel kilise, içi bolca tütsü kokuyor.
İkonostas (İkon Duvarı)
Üzerinde birçok altın çerçeveli resim bulunan büyük panel, ikonostastır.
• Anlamı: Bu duvar, kilisenin ana cemaat alanı ile sadece din görevlilerinin girebildiği kutsal sunak alanını ayırır.
• Merkezi Kapı: Ortada bulunan altın işlemeli kapı "Kraliyet Kapısı" olarak bilinir ve ayin sırasında İsa Mesih'in ruhani geçişini simgeler.
Meryem Ana ve Çocuk İsa İkonası
Sol tarafta yer alan büyük, ahşap çerçeveli resim, Meryem Ana ve Bebek İsa'dır.
• Anlamı: Bu ikonalar, şefkati ve tanrısal sevginin insan formuna bürünmesini temsil eder.
• Mumlar ve Adaklar: Önündeki mumlar, inananların dualarını; ikonaya asılmış kolyeler ise genellikle bir dileğin kabulü sonrası sunulan şükran hediyelerini simgeler.
Freskler ve Duvar Resimleri
Kilisenin üst kısmındaki ve tavanındaki resimlere fresk denir.
• Anlamı: Bu resimler genellikle İncil'den sahneleri, azizlerin hayatlarını veya kilise hiyerarşisini anlatır. Okuma yazmanın yaygın olmadığı dönemlerde bu resimler, "sessiz kitaplar" olarak halka dini öğretmek için kullanılırdı. - D
