I was there at the event. I was so rare to see the place so packed... it holds over 4,000

I took only a few pictures because my camera died out. I will load them up now onto my website of Ukrainian Churches I have taken pictures of: http://photobucket.com/albums/b21/Poltavchan/Ukrainian%20Churches/?sc=5

I cantored at a wedding there over the summer, the reverb inside is amazing. You have an ensemble of 4 or 5 singers and it sounds like 25.

You really don't get a perspective for the size of it until you go up to the choir loft.

That is a very beautiful cathedral!

Nice pictures, even though Im not much of a fan for Yushchenko

To ukrainiancatholic, can I post your pictures from the president's visit on the cathedral's website? I'm a webmaster of the www.ukrcathedral.com [ukrcathedral.com]

Yes, by all means. I only wish I was able to take more.

I have about 50 from the Constituion Center with a few of Metropolitan Stefan giving the opening prayer.

Z pryvitom,

My camera ran out of the batteries at the event too, but closer to the end. I wasn't able to take the group picture.
