Object Description
Black and white photograph of the interior of The Annunciation Cathedral.  This photo was taken from the left side and is a close-up view of the altar area.  The iconostas, or wall made up of large icons, creates the backdrop for this photo.  A chandelier is seen at the very top, an American flag to the far left.  An Epitaphios, a bier topped with a gazebo-like canopy, is featured front and center.  It is covered with fresh flowers and topped with a cross.  Two votive risers filled with votive candles are in the very front and bottom of the photo.
