New domes

            An unusual picture - domes on the ground. They are intended for the Orthodox Church of the Forty Martyrs in Konakovo. Tver region. Russia.
Gold. The most common color of Orthodox domes represents eternity and heavenly glory. Temples with golden domes were dedicated to Christ and the great church holidays - Christmas, Meeting, Annunciation. Such chapters crown the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Kremlin cathedrals - the Assumption, Annunciation, Arkhangelsk.
Currently, domes are not clad with gold, but earlier the metal was dissolved in mercury, and then the resulting amalgam was applied to a hot copper sheet. The gilding process was very expensive and labor intensive.
The onion dome in Orthodox architecture is the embodiment of prayer, aspiration to heaven. According to researcher Yevgeny Trubetskoy, such a dome on the base of the drum resembles a candle flame. Onion-shaped chapters are characteristic of Russian architecture of the 16th – 17th centuries.
