Mike Alex, caretaker of this Eklutna Russian Orthodox Church, stands at the front of the church interior surrounded by religious symbols and ceremonial structures. Gold crosses, paintings and tapestries stand in front of a partition wall accessed by three doors behind Mr. Alex. A rectangular gas stove is visible at left, an accommodation for winter services. No benches or pews are in evidence as most attendees stand during services.
