The two-headed eagle, depicted here in mosaic on the sanctuary floor, was historically a symbol of the Byzantine Empire, and also came to be associated with the Eastern Orthodox Church. "It represents one empire with two heads," says Peppas, "one pointing east and one west. For the church, it symbolizes harmony between secular and religious worlds."
