The Greek doors

Even though Malta is predominantly Catholic, there are a few churches that belong to other religions. One of them is the Greek Orthodox church in Valletta. The inside is obviously covered with Icons and an impressive Iconostasis seen right in the middle. But just as impressive is the main door, a bronze masterpiece with a series of panels that depict scenes from the Bible, all done in an iconic style. Among them, one can see the Nativity, the Epiphany, the Presentation, the Transfiguration, the Crucifixion, and others. (click to enlarge images)
