These four crosses are found atop the c1900 Russian Orthodox Church in the village of Ninichik, Alaska. It is a small place but the church is fascinating. I spent a long time trying to get a shot of the four steeples. i edited the photo to apprear a bit painterly. I may have made that word up? The crosses are typical of the Russian Church, the top bar represents the sign over Jesus’ head, the center, the bar on which he hung and the bottom, the foot rest. In the oldest of these crosses the bottom piece was usually straight, but for several centuries it was at an angle.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20,21 NLT

I think I was inspired by the lady who was painting the church to finish the steeples as I did.
