A bit late in the day to be posting for InSPIREd Sunday, but worth the wait, I hope. For the past several months I've been trying to get photos of all the historical churches in Louisville. Have had
Saint Michael the Archangel Orthodox on the list for some time. Waiting for a day when the sky is bright so it would be a good background for the church dome and blue spires. This church was established in the 1930s and is described as Pan-Orthodox Christian, serving many cultures and ethnic groups from Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, and America who live in Louisville. Your can see the different influences in the architecture, especially the domed roof, brightly colored spires, and iconography. Hopefully, I can get back to the church in the future to take some photos inside.
Here are a few more photos of the exterior:
