Onion Domes
Moscow postcards typically feature the colourful striped domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and the neighboring Red Square. St. Basil's was built between 1555 and 1561. Other Russian churches also have flame-shaped domes. The dome's peak is said to be like the flame of prayer reaching up toward heaven. The cross at the top symbolizes Christ.
洋葱型屋顶
典型的莫斯科明信片上的风光图就是圣瓦西里大教堂彩色条纹圆屋顶和相邻的红场。圣瓦西里大教堂建于1555-1561年。俄罗斯其它教堂也有这种火焰状的圆屋顶。据说,屋顶的最高处象征着人们的祈祷像火焰可以一直上达天庭。屋顶上的十字架象征着耶稣。
