Take a look at these photos of the Russian Orthodox Church in Juneau, Alaska that we toured this past May on our cruise of Alaska. This church was very small and had no pews. The parishioners (Native Americans of Alaska) stand for the long two hour service. And the icon on the wall with the holy cloth draped over the top is an icon of St. Nicholas.
