Romanian Orthodox Church of the Holy Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael - II

The narrow Romanian Orthodox Church is almost invisible from the street

but the interior is rich with golds and royal blue. 

The altar sits like a bejeweled crown

dwarfed by the tall stained glass windows of the apse.

 

For a small space there is much detail to absorb.

How could I have missed this church for so many years? 

It is just around the corner from Place Maubert nestled between two ordinary buildings. 

 It was closed but showed signs of an active congregation. 

I will be back...
