LEAVING"It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home." Jalal aad-Din Rumi, Persian Poet, 1207-1273 July 10, 1988 -
My wife is looking at me with THAT look. I'm packing for another overseas' trip. I know that she thinks that I will be glad to leave her, the house, the bills to be paid, the myriad of things to take care of and all of the said and unsaid obligations. That's not the case. I am not anxious to leave ANYTHING or ANYONE. I'm just anxious to see new places and experience new things. I'm not certain that she has ever quite accepted my reasons for taking these, almost, annual trips. After all, I've been to Russia twice before. What else is there to see? Well, this time, it's the train trip- a trip that ranks as one of the most famous and most adventurous that one can take.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (Russian: Sobor Vasiliia Blazennogo), commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, Kremlin, is a former church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin on the Moat (Russian: Sobor Pokrova presviatoi Bogorodicy, cto na Rvu) or Pokrovsky Cathedral (Russian: Pokrovskii sobor). It was built from 1555-61 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It has been the hub of the city's growth since the 14th century and was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
The original building, known as Trinity Church and later Trinity Cathedral, contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church of Intercession; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). In the 16th and 17th centuries the church, perceived as the earthly symbol of the Heavenly City, as happens to all churches in Byzantine Christianity, was popularly known as the "Jerusalem" and served as an allegory of the Jerusalem Temple in the annual Palm Sunday parade attended by the Patriarch of Moscow and the tsar.
