Gold Domes for Sale

Gold domes for Sale

• HDR Photo

One way some monasteries pay their way is making "gold domes" for other churches. Or a reasonable facsimile of such. Rest assured that in these particular domes, there is no gold. One had a tag of approximately 16,000 hriven, which comes out to around $2000. With the price of gold well over $1000 an ounce, this is a case where "all that glimmers isn't gold."

Comments and Faves much appreciated!
