Slava Iisusu Christu vo vyeki vyekov! Amin.
Also – Christ and the Four Evangelists.
Three domes signifies the Blessed Trinity, a single dome – the unity of God the Father, or, alternatively, Christ the Logos or ‘Christos Pantocrator’.

Came across this while doing a little reminiscing about my summer in Moscow (1993). One of my favorite Saturday pastimes was wandering through the Izmailovsky Market. Bought many souvenirs for folks back home, but also some great Central Asian rugs for my apartment, and a gorgeous hand-embroidered linen tablecloth and napkins that I still use and treasure. Thanks for the photos and the memories. (And for those who don’t know, Russian ice cream is delicious!)

In reply to Barbara. Dear Barbara, Short of genetic testing, you could try to investigate when your ancestors arrived in the US. The colony our students wrote about was active in the early-mid 1920s. By 1929 most had left both Siberia and the country. Thank you for following our blog.

I suppose this is why I am so close emotionally towards Buddhism, and in ethnicity of Mongolian, well 27% , makes the Jewish question answerable.
Thanks for posting.

My Grandfather or Great Grandfather was exiled from Poland to Irkutsk. I look somewhat native American. Is it possible (or probable) that my Jewish ancestors intermarried with indigenous peoples from Siberia?
I cannot use genetic testing, as they are women on my grandfather’s side and the DNA will not show that. Please help.
