Christ the Saviour Cathedral

Christ the Saviour Cathedral is located on the north bank of the Moskva River to the southwest of the capital’s Kremlin

fortress. Christ the Saviour is the tallest Orthodox

cathedral in the world, standing at 103 metres above

the pavement. The main holy place can hold over 10,000 standing worshipers.

His Imperial Majesty

Emperor Alexander I signed a Manifesto ordering the construction of a

magnificent Cathedral in honour of Christ the Savior

in Moscow as a thanksgiving to God and to honour the

victorious Russian army.

It was demolished in

1931 and after World War II at the place of the former cathedral the world’s

largest open-air swimming pool appeared, Following the collapse of the Soviet

Union in 1991, the newly-free Moscow Patriarchate announced plans to rebuild

the destroyed Cathedral on its pre-revolutionary model and scale. The

construction had been finished by 2000.

President and the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation attend Easter

midnight services in the cathedral.
