Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:36:55

This pink-domed, 17th-century structure is Lithuania’s chief Russian Orthodox church. In a chamber at the foot of a flight of steps in front of the altar (their feet even peep out) lie the preserved bodies of three 14th-century martyrs – Sts Anthony, Ivan and Eustachius. Adjoining are male and female Orthodox monasteries, the only ones in the country.
