From our hotel we could see the domes of churches throughout the city
This green domed church was closed during Soviet times and used for grain storage. It was built to serve the Lithuanian population and now is open again	From this vantage point on the canal we can see 7 bridges and our next stop - the "Sailors Church"
The Naval Cathedral of St Nicholas (The Sailors' Cathedral) Erected in the 18th century to serve the many sailors who lived in the area
	The Bell Tower of the Cathedral stands some distance apart from the church overlooking the Kryukov Canal It is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city
The Cathedral of St Issac was damaged during WWII and has been elegantly restored A few bullet holes remain in the colums as a reminder of the destruction
When the doors of the iconostasis are opened the stained glass window of "The Resurrected Christ" seems to welcome worshipers to the "Divine Liturgy"
The Cathedral Dome was a marvel of 18th century engineering
	There are many other beautiful, historical churches in St Petersburg, but not enough time to visit Trinity Cathedral with its blue domes and gold stars will be on our list for a future trip
