The curch, besides as an architectural monument itself, is known for the largest exhibition of mosaics (over 7,000 sq.m.), including the Italian colored marble, Ural and Altai semiprecious stones and mosaic collections of Russian heraldry.
The walls and ceilings inside the church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics of biblical scenes or figures sett in very fine frames.
