Black and white photograph of the interior of The Annunciation Cathedral.  This photo was taken from the center aisle and is a close up of the altar area.  The iconostas, or wall made up of large icons, creates the backdrop for this photo.  The Epitaphios, a beautifully carved bier topped with a gazebo-like canopy, is featured front and center.  It is adorned with a magnificently large spray of fresh flowers and a cross.  Two crosses on tall square posts flank the entrance to the altar and frame the view of the Epitaphios.
