Description from the author:
The picture embodies the sublimity of religion. The temple is depicted against the background of simple houses. The canvas is executed in such a way that the viewer sees how the temple stands higher than the houses and closer to heaven, to God, this shows that religion is on a completely different level, that it is something sublime in people's lives. It's winter outside too, and everything is covered with snow. And against the background of the white color of winter, the golden domes of the church are shown, which shows the viewer its value (analogue of gold).
