Kazan Cathedral

Built in 1993, this is a replica of the 17th century church built to commemorate victory over the Poles and demolished in the 1930s by the Bolsheviks.

Reviewed By drogilmour - Guatemala City, Guatemala

The shrines of the church include the icon of Kazan Mother of God, Our Lady of Upbringing and a relic with particles of 83 orthodox saints. Kazan was mostly populated by Tatars, Mongol invaders of Russia and Europe, who were Muslim. Legend has it that one night before a battle, the tsar heard the chiming of the bells of Moscow, then an icon appeared to the people and immediately began to perform miraculous healing work, after which many people converted to Orthodox Christianity. By the 1930s, the Soviet government resolved to have it demolished. The Red Square was supposed to become a site for holding socialist ceremonies. The church was recreated in 1990–1993, so the modern building is, in fact, a brand new structure, check the frescoes by the entrance hall, all are dated 1990. Religious services take place in the mornings and evenings.
