The Royal Marriage in Russia: the Church of the Assumption, Moscow, 1874. '...the Uspenskoi Sabor, or Church of the Assumption, in which the Emperors of Russia are crowned, occupies a place of the highest eminence in the Kremlin. Its interior is a blaze of gilding, which covers, with some large fresco paintings, the walls from door to roof, and the pillars also that support the five cupolas. In this church are kept some great treasures : a golden Mount Sinai with a figure of Moses, given by Prince Potemkin; a Bible, which belonged to Peter the Great's mother, having its cover so loaded with gold and jewels as to weigh 120 lb.; the plain wooden throne of Vladimir the Great; a portrait of the Virgin Mary, painted by St. Luke; the skeleton of the Patriarch Nicon, and many other relics'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
