Russia

In 2005, I was able to backpack through Europe with my youth group.  Russia was one of the countries we visited.  One of the most prominent part was the Orthodox churches we visited (Catholicism is not very popular/accepted in Russia).  It was very interesting to have a first hand experience on the differences between Catholic and Orthodox churches.
Visiting orthodox churches in Russia.
The churches were very grandiose structures and reflected a similar architecture.
Insides of the churches were decorated with these types of paintings.
