For a Byzantine Christian this would be considered incomplete, given the lack of iconography to cover up those white walls. (The small one in the back is not enough.) There should be iconography covering every surface (if one goes with the Slavic fashion), or at least most of it (in the American Greek fashion, preferably with mosaics, apparently). This looks bare and frankly, not alive but dead. "Cistercian simplicity" and all that, perhaps.
