A saint's resting place

from my tours of the Baltic States in the summer of 2016

An elaborately decorated side chapel of the Cathedral of Vilnius is dedicated to St. Casimir, whose remains rest in the silver sarcophagus above the altar.

A gorgeous and richly decorated scene fit for a saint, I'm sure. I especially like the wall behind with the cherubs and angels flying about.

So ornate and eye filling! I love the framing and light here. I almost get a sense of subtle desaturation, and it serves the image well.
