a large dome containing Christ and his 24 disciples. To contrast them, St Mark’s Basilica is far more detailed. There are multiple domes, and every space within the Cathedral seems to be filled with some form of art. While the Greek Orthodox Cathedral contains far less. In the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, there are detailed stain glass windows, and there are none on St Mark’s Basilica.

From victim to offender, people pass down their faults and wrongdoings from one generation to the next. Human nature will never change, and misery will forever thrive.
