Moscow In Your Pocket - Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
http://moscow.inyourpocket.com
Moscow In Your Pocket editor, Jennifer Fell on the history of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, one of the most important landmarks of the Russian capital and shows us the love locks on the footbridge spanning the Moskva River.
This is what a new Russian orthodox church ought to look like. It is so immense youll be wondering how many blocks of dynamite the Soviets needed to get rid of the thing the first time around. That was in 1931. This newly restored example came into being from 1994 until 2000 and is a shiny beacon for the Russian Orthodox Church at home.
The walls are decorated with lists of awards, battles, list of those perished and awarded in the war with Napoleon in 1812 are inscribed once more upon the walls. Women should cover their head. No filming allowed inside!
