St. Vladimir's Ukranian Orthodox Congregation - Calgary, Alberta - Orthodox Churches on Waymarking.com

"When St. Vladimir's congregation, formed in 1928, decided to replace its modest 1938 building with this one, it sought out craftsmen willing to use traditional methods to create its five copper domes (made up of thousands of diamond-shape pieces), stained glass windows, and other architectural details." The building was completed in 1986 and has all of the hallmarks of an older church building like others that are found in the community of Brdigeland in northeast Calgary.

"The interior is dominated by the iconostasis, a decoratively carved screen with painted panels-all hand done-that separates the sanctuary from the rest of the church (representing the separation of the heavenly and the earthly). The building contains a museum."
