Here's a shot I took looking directly up into the dome of the Greek Orthodox church in Malbis. If you click through to the original on Flickr, you can look at it full size. It is God the Father in the center, which makes me wonder if there might have been a shift in eastern iconography over the years. You'll notice the angels and the writers of the four gospels at each 'joint' (help, Dr. B! what's that called?)--that placement of the gospels is standard for (traditional) Catholic and Orthodox architecture alike.
