white hands, of which she was rather vain. Fifteen- year-old Jo was very tall, thin, and brown, and reminded one of a colt, for she never seemed to know what to do with her long limbs, which were very much in her way. She had a decided mouth, a comical nose, and sharp, gray eyes, which appeared to see everything, and were by turns fierce, funny, or thoughtful. Her long, thick hair was her one beauty, but it was usually bundled into a net, to be out of her way. Round shoulders had Jo, big hands and feet, a flyaway look to her clothes, and the uncomfortable appearance of a girl who was rapidly shooting up into a woman and didn't like it. Elizabeth, or Beth, as everyone called her, was a rosy, smooth- haired, bright-eyed girl of thirteen, with a shy manner, a timid voice, and a peaceful expression which was seldom disturbed. Her father called her 'Little Miss Tranquility', and the name suited her excellently, for she seemed to live in a happy world of her own, only venturing out to meet the few whom she trusted and loved. Amy, though the youngest, was a most important person, in her own opinion at least. A regular snow maiden, with blue eyes, and yellow hair curling on her shoulders, pale and slender, and always carrying herself like a young lady mindful of her manners. What the characters of the four sisters were we will leave to be found out. The clock struck six and, having swept up the hearth, Beth put a pair of slippers down to warm. Somehow the sight of the old shoes had a good effect upon the girls, for Mother was coming, and everyone brightened to welcome her. Meg stopped lecturing, and lighted the lamp, Amy got out of the easy chair without being asked, and Jo forgot how tired she was as she sat up to hold the slippers nearer to the blaze. "They are quite worn out. Marmee must have a new pair." "I thought I'd get her some with my dollar," said Beth. "No, I shall!" cried Amy. "I'm the oldest," began Meg, but Jo cut in with a decided, "I'm the man of the family now Papa is away, and I shall provide the slippers, for he told me to take special care of Mother while he was gone." "I'll tell you what we'll do," said Beth, "let's each get her something for Christmas, and not get anything for ourselves."

n by the Moat". The popular alternative refers to Basil the Blessed, a Muscovite 'holy fool' who was buried on the site (in the Trinity Cathedral that once stood here) a few years before the present building was erected. The Cathedral was ordered by Ivan the Terrible to mark the 1552 capture of Kazan from Mongol forces. It was completed in 1560. That's pretty much all the genuine history that's known about this celebrated landmark. There,however, scores of legends. Nothing is known about the builders, Barma and Postnik Yakovlev, except their names and the dubious legend that Ivan had them blinded so that they could not create anything to compare. Historians unanimously state that this is nothing but urban folklore.
Architectural specialists are to this day unable to agree about the
governing idea behind the structure. Either the creators were paying
homage to the churches of Jerusalem, or, by building eight churches
around a central ninth, they were representing the medieval symbol of
the eight-pointed star. The original concept of the Cathedral of the
Intercession has been hidden from us beneath layers of stylistic
additions and new churches added to the main building. In fact, when
built, the Cathedral was all white to match the white-stone Kremlin,
and the onion domes were gold rather than multi-colored and
patterned as they are today.
In the 17 th century a hip-roofed bell tower was added, the gallery and
staircases were covered with vaulted roofing, and the helmeted domes
were replaced with decorated ones. In 1860 during rebuilding, the
Cathedral was painted with a more complex and integrated design, and
has remained unchanged since.
For a time in the Soviet Union, there was talk of demolishing St. Basil's
- mainly because it hindered Stalin's plans for massed parades on Red
Square. It was only saved thanks to the courage of the architect Pyotr
Baranovsky. When ordered to prepare the building for demolition, he
refused categorically, and sent the Kremlin an extremely blunt
telegram. The Cathedral remained standing, and Baranovsky's
conservation efforts earned him five years in prison.
The Cathedral is now a museum. During restoration work in the
seventies a wooden spiral staircase was discovered within one of the
walls. Visitors now take this route into the central church, with its
extraordinary, soaring tented roof and a fine 16th Century iconostasis.
You can also walk along the narrow, winding gallery, covered in
beautiful patterned paintwork.
One service a year is held in the Cathedral, on the Day of Intercession
in October.
