Description: During the Orthodox Holy Week in 2009, I took a spontaneous pilgrimage of sorts to Russia.Moscow now is an extraordinary place to visit, so soon after the fall of the Soviet Union.Her dramatic renewal of religious expression awkwardly mingles with a generation that never knew God.Standing as you do during Orthodox worship, I could find to my left a woman covered in traditional lace head-dress, then to my right a leather-jacketed man with bloodshot eyes reeking from a binge-drunken night.
