Christmastime in Moscow

PHOTO GALLERY

Photographer Dmitry Kiryukhin once again took a walk through the center of Moscow at Christmastime—even more beautiful than last year. This year the city’s streets, squares, churches, and monasteries are adorned not only with festive garlands and lights, but also with freshly fallen snow, which delighted Muscovites throughout all the Christmas holidays.
