Church of the Savior on Blood

Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ on Blood, Church of the Savior on Blood, Church of the Savior on Blood
russia, Saint Petersburg
Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ on the Blood - an Orthodox memorial single-altar church in the name of the Resurrection of Christ; It was built in memory of the fact that on this place on March 1, 1881, as a result of an assassination attempt, Emperor Alexander II was mortally wounded (the expression on the blood indicates the blood of the king). The temple was built as a monument to the Tsar-Martyr with funds collected from all over Russia.

It is located in the historical center of St. Petersburg on the banks of the Griboedov Canal, next to the Mikhailovsky Garden and Konyushennaya Square, not far from the Field of Mars. The height of the nine-domed temple is 81 m, the capacity is up to 1600 people. It is a museum and a monument of Russian architecture.

Outside, it is somewhat reminiscent of St. Basil's Cathedral, the same Russian style, the same multi-colored domes with a dome. The last time I was there, the altar was almost finished inside. Despite the fact that there is almost always a museum operating there, there is an awe-inspiring feeling of a cathedral. I advise everyone to look at the very beautiful mosaic frescoes on the walls.

In terms of energy, Kazansky glorifies God, Isakievsky glorifies Man, and the Savior on Blood glorifies the tsar. All three great cathedrals must be visited, but if you are short of time, then you do not need to go to this one. By the way, outside it is more beautiful than inside.
