Tapered to a Cross


February 22, 2020
While doing some research the other night on Eastern European churches in Canada I came across an evocative phrase..."tapered to a cross."  Images of the crosses that top the onion domes of Ukrainian churches instantly came to mind.

Some simple, some fancy and a few in between.  Enjoy!

  2. So many different interpretations of the cross. Some so simple in construction and others amazingly elaborate.
