St. Sophia Church at Harbin


St. Sophia Church in Harbin is the largest Eastern Orthodox Church in Far East Region.
It was built about 100 years ago (at 1907) by the Russian when they ruled the Chinese city. The word "St. Sophia" means "God wisdom".


This church is in Byzantine style, one of the most recognizable features of Byzantine style is the onion dome.

Outside the church there were people feeding pigeons. I think pigeon and church make very good combination. They both signify peace and love.
