RE: Exaltation of the Cross Church - the place of unification of Catholicism and Orthodoxy

Thoroughly enjoyed the fascinating religion history and awesome architecture photography you presented for us! @danny.green

one cross symbolizes the Orthodox and the second the Catholic denomination

I wonder why there are only traditional Catholic styles of crosses ✝️ and not even one Orthodox cross ☦ on the outside premises of the Exaltation of the Cross Church. It's not giving me a sense of the unification of Catholocism and Orthodoxy religions. Do you know the reason?

Hello @manahawkin. Great note. I believe that officially (according to the law of the church in our area), there is no way to unite two religions in one building. This church is primarily Catholic, but due to historical events, it has become a place of attraction for Catholics and Orthodox believers. This is a unique case.
In fact, I would be glad to see one common church uniting all religions. Though I think I've seen one like this once. Your question allowed me to remember another unique church. I will probably visit her soon and tell them about her. Thanks:)😊
