The cathedral, due to open in October, is part of a Russian Orthodox cultural and spiritual centre under construction on the banks of the Seine that will share the Paris skyline with the Eiffel Tower. When completed the centre will house a bilingual school and cultural services of the Russian embassy. A crane lifted the eight-tonne dome into place, the first of five golden cupolas that will adorn the Russian Orthodox Holy Trinity Cathedral at Quai Branly. A total of 90,000 sheets of gold leaf will cover the five domes. [ link to www.france24.com] |
