The cross on the dome on the church of St. Seraphim in Makalangot is installed. Maybe you remember how hard it was to lift the dome. We had planned to make the cross from the same material (titanium nitride), but it ended and we made a temporary painted one. While waiting for the transfer from Russia, they made a ball under the cross which turned out to be a difficult task… And now the Cross is in its place and everything is in the same style.
