    The Church of St. Anastasia the Deliverer, located in one of the caves of a former quarry, is part of the Bakhchisarai Assumption Cave Monastery in Crimea. Its unique feature is the abundance of beadwork—every icon, wall panel, candle holder, and even the hanging lamps are decorated with intricate bead embroidery


    The exterior of the monastery buildings is equally striking, adorned with colorful mosaic panels crafted in the Byzantine style.
