Madagascar - Cathedral of the Dormition in Moscow

This stamp from Madagascar depicts the Cathedral of the Dormition at the Kremlin in Moscow.  The Cathedral of the Dormition, sometimes translated as the "Cathedral of the Assumption", is one of the most majestic pieces of architecture in the Kremlin's Cathedral Square. Construction began in the late 15th century, and since its completion it has stood as the most important church in Russia. The interior of the cathedral is decorated with fine frescoes, and some of Russia's most prized icons were created especially for the cathedral.
