EXILES BUILD QUAINT CHURCH
A church of the Middle Ages has been built in a dark, narrow street in Paris as a "museum of faith" by exiled Russians. It is a twelfth century Greek Orthodox church, constructed of wood and bricks, and decorated in the rich, garish style of old. Byzantine saints and patriarchs and their stories are pictured on the walls, and ikons are placed above the draped dais.
