Ethiopian orthodox believers are strict Trinitarians, maintaining the orthodox teaching that God is united in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit . The Faith of the Church.

November 28, 2017. Ethiopia is an outlier in the Orthodox Christian world, by Jeff Diamant. Ethiopia has the largest Orthodox Christian population outside Europe, and, by many measures, Orthodox Ethiopians have much higher levels of religious commitment than do Orthodox Christians in the faith’s heartland of Central and Eastern Europe. The country in the Horn of Africa has 36 million Orthodox Christians, the world’s second-largest Orthodox population after Russia. Nearly all Orthodox Ethiopians (98%) say religion is very important to them, compared with a median of 34% of Orthodox saying this across 13 countries surveyed in Central and Eastern Europe. About three-quarters of Orthodox Ethiopians say they attend church every week (78%), compared with a median of 10% in Central and Eastern Europe and just 6% in Russia. Orthodox Ethiopians are more likely than Orthodox Christians in Central and Eastern Europe to wear religious symbols (93% vs. median of 64%) , to say they believe in God with absolute certainty (89% vs. 56%), to fast during holy times such as Lent (87% vs. 27%), and to tithe (57% vs. 14%). Indeed , these gaps between Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia and Europe mirror broader differences in religious commitment between people living in sub-Saharan Africa , where religious observance is relatively high among all major religious groups , and those in more secular societies in Central and Eastern Europe . Orthodox Ethiopians also tend to be more conservative on social issues than are other Orthodox Christians surveyed ; they express higher levels of moral opposition to homosexuality, prostitution, abortion, divorce and drinking alcohol. For instance , Orthodox Ethiopians are much more likely to say that having an abortion is morally wrong than are Orthodox Christians in Central and Eastern Europe (83% vs. median of 46%).

Place des Cathédrales de Moscou.

La Cathédrale du Christ Sauveur . La Cathédrale du Christ Sauveur de Moscou a été construite entre 1839 et 1883 sous les ordres du tsar Alexandre I en hommages aux défunts de la Guerre Patriotique de 1812. Après la Révolution Russe de 1917, une persécution religieuse a été menée à bien et provoqua la destruction de nombreux temples incluant la Cathédrale du Christ Saveur. En 1931, Staline ordonna la destruction de la Cathédrale du Christ Sauveur à l'aide d'explosifs, et il décida de vouer ce nouvel espace libre à la construction du plus haut gratte-ciel du monde . Cette imposante tour devrait s'élever à 415 mètres et être couronnée d'une statue de Lénine de 100 mètres de haut. Par chance, les chantiers du bâtiment seront interrompus par l'invasion allemande lors de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale , c'est la raison pour laquelle le projet ne sera finalement jamais mené à bien. En 1958, après l'échec de la construction du gratte-ciel, une impressionnante piscine a été installée et elle deviendra alors (comme il n'aurait pu en être autrement) la plus grande du monde). Elle était remplie d'eau chaude, ce qui permettait d'en profiter tout au long de l'année. En 1944 la piscine ferma ses portes et un an après commença la construction de la Cathédrale du Christ Sauveur suivant alors son projet initial . Les chantiers avanceront très vite, et c'est ainsi qu'à peine 5 ans plus tard la Cathédrale fut inaugurée.

Souverainisme. Le souverainisme est, selon ses promoteurs initiaux, une doctrine politique soutenant la préservation de la souveraineté nationale d'un pays par rapport à des instances supranationales. Le concept peut couvrir celui de souveraineté économique. (...) La notion n'a pas de définition universellement reconnue au niveau théorique. Néanmoins , sur le plan politique elle peut rassembler un certains nombres de citoyens opposés à l'Union européenne , ou hostiles à certains aspects de celle ci. Ainsi, en France et dans d'autres pays européens , le souverainisme est entendu comme une opposition à la fédéralisation de l'Union européenne . En effet, ce fédéralisme reviendrait à limiter la souveraineté nationale , une constitution fédérale répartissant les compétences de l'Union et celles des Etats membres. Ainsi , les souverainistes désirent que les nations, compris comme groupes sociaux constitués, gardent un contrôle entier sur leurs politiques. (...) Dans sa "théorie générale du souverainisme", il distingue par ailleurs quatre grandes familles de souverainisme : le souverainisme civique, fondé sur le concept de nation civique, par exemple l'indépendantisme américain ; le souverainisme ethnoculturel, fondé sur le concept de nation ethnique , par exemple l'autonomisme hongrois dans l'empire d'Autriche-Hongrie ; le souverainisme marxiste-révolutionnaire, où l'indépendantisme est un instrument au service de la révolution communiste (...)

1709. Sampson Cathedral is one of the oldest Cathedrals in the city: it was founded in 1709 by decree of Peter I in honor of the victory over the Swedes in the battle of Poltava. (...) History of the Cathedral. The Cathedral was founded in 1709 at the behest of Peter the Great and dedicated to the victory over the Swedes in the battle of Poltava . Battle day, June 27 (10) is the day of Saint sampsonius the pilgrim. Peter I considered this a sign and named the future Cathedral after this Saint. Due to the reason for its creation, the Sampson Cathedral was the most well-maintained in comparison with other churches of that period. Initially, the Cathedral was made of wood. After the death of Peter I, it was rebuilt in stone, and in 1740 , already under the Empress Anna Ioannovna, it was opened to parishioners. (...) The Cathedral is also famous in the history of Sankt Petersburg for the fact that in 1711 the first organized Cemetery was built near it: before that , the dead were buried next to their homes or next to Parish Churches. The construction of the official city Cemetery on the Vyborg side was initiated, according to contemporaries, by Peter I himself , who noted that the city is inhabited mainly by newcomers , and it would be logical to bury them at the walls of the Temple dedicated to the Patron Saint of travelers.

1710. The Saint Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Saint Alexander Nevsky Lavra is the grandest Orthodox Temple complex . It is the largest and the first Monastery in the city. It will take several hours to get around every amazing place in the laurel. The Lavra consists of a whole complex of structures in the architectural appearance of which the Baroque style dominates . The construction of the entire complex as a whole was entrusted to the Architect Domenico Trezzini (1670 - 1734) . Among them are the most beautiful Trinity Cathedral, the Annunciation Church, Fedorovskaya , as well as the first thing we can see at the entrance is the Gate Church. There are four Cemeteries on the territory of the Monastery, where such Eminent People as the Scientist Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov (1711-1765) , the Writer Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1877), the Composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) . And in the Annunciation Cathedral the great Russian Commander Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov (1730-1800) are buried. Tsar Peter I (1672-1725) ordered to construct the Monastery in 1710. The Alexander Nevsky Lavra is named in honor of Prince Saint Alexander Yaroslavovich Nevsky (1221 - 1263). During the construction of the Monastery there was built a road from the Monastery to the city, now it is part of the well-known Nevsky Prospect . Undoubtedly, the central point of the laurel is the Trinity Cathedral. There is an interesting story related to this Cathedral . During the Reign of Catherine II (1729 - 1796) it was necessary to disassemble all the walls of the Cathedral due to cracks and rebuild them . In the Trinity Cathedral are the relics of Saint Alexander Nevsky. Author: Christina Stein. 1710. www.infotour.ro. Mânăstirea Alexander Nevsky din Sankt Petersburg este cunoscuta de locuitorii zonei sub numele de Sfânta Lavră.

1710. Smolny Monastery. is one of the main convents for women located in Sankt Petersburg . It got its name thanks to the Smolny court, on the territory of which, in the future, a Monastery was built . Empress Elizaveta Petrovna (1709-1762). began its construction, which is why it is magnificently called the Elizabethan Baroque. Many architects tried to carry out her project during the life of Cthe empress and after her death, which gives the Monastery some mystery. Smolny Monastery is made in the Baroque style. The five-headed Monastery was distinguished by its skillful style from all European works in that it was made in this style not only on the main facade, but also from all other sides . On the sides of the Monastery you can see the extended buildings of the cells, also in the corner buildings there are four small Churches. The main Church of the Monastery was founded in 1748, the Architect was inspired by the work, but, unfortunately , it was impossible to see exactly how Rastrelli Francesco-Bartolomeo saw it, the work was suspended due to the Seven Years War (1756-1763) . Fortunately, a wooden model of the Church can be seen in the Museum of the Academy of Arts.

1710. Armenian Church . The first Armenians appeared in Sankt Petersburg almost immediately after the foundation of the city. In 1710, they created their own community . At this time, they gathered in private homes. The first request for the construction of an Armenian Church from Archimandrite Minas was filed in 1714 , but was rejected by the authorities. Only on September 25, 1725, the metropolitan community, numbering 30 yards , received the consent of the Synod to open a prayer house in a wooden building on the 3rd line of Vasilyevsky Island . In January 1740, Luka Shirvanov (GukasShirvanian) received permission to build "a small Armenian stone Church dependent." But after the death of Anna Ivanovna, construction stopped. In accordance with the manifesto, published in July 1763, on the free observance of Church rites by all the peoples who settled in Russia, On May 22, 1770, according to the petition of the head of the Armenian community, I. L. Lazarev (Hovhannes Lazaryan), "with the rest of the Armenians", an oral order was issued by Catherine II "to allow them to build a Church in Sankt Petersburg" (...)

1712 - 1732. The Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral - the burial vault of the Romanovs . is a unique architectural monument designed by Domenico Trezzini in the style known as Peter's Baroque . It was developed in Sankt Petersburg in the first quarter of the 18th century . Very simple, elegant exterior practically without decorations and, on the contrary, the interior was elaborately designed . The construction lasted from 1712 till 1732, in 1733 it was consecrated. The Cathedral is 122.5 meters high and it is one of the tallest buildings in the city . The gilded spire is crowned with a ball , on top of which there is a figure of an angel holding a cross (the wing span is 3.8 meters) . On the bell-tower there is a tower clock with chimes. The interior of the Cathedral differs greatly from the Russian Churches of the 14-17th centuries and reminds the interior of a gala room of the 18th century . According to the old Byzantine tradition Churches were usually cross - shaped , while this Cathedral is shaped as an elongated rectangle . The walls are painted to imitate marble instead of icons or frescoes on them. The cornice is decorated with eighteen oil paintings depicted the life and passions of Christ created by remarkable artists of the 18th century - Belsky, Matveev, Ignatiev, and Gsell. They are of special interest being one of the first samples of Russian realistic art . Five chandeliers and large windows add secular atmosphere to the interior . The typical Russian Orthodox Churches are dark inside . The Cathedral was meant by Peter I as a monument of Russian military glory . The walls of the Cathedral are decorated with the exact copies of the banners captured as trophies during the wars with Sweden and Turkey in the 18th century, the originals are in The Hermitage Museum. Traditionally trophies of wars were kept in palaces. The iconostasis was designed by Trezzini. It was made in Moscow by the talented Architect Ivan Zarudny (1722-1727) . Forty Masters participated in the work and it took them several years to turn the plain wood into a triumphal arch with soft draperies , tassels, garlands of flowers. Forty three icons of the iconostasis were painted by the group of Moscow Artists . The iconostasis was brought to Saint-Petersburg and installed in the Cathedral in 1729. The pulpit of the Cathedral is made of carved wood and decorated with oil paintings and several wooden sculptures: Saint Apostle Peter, Saint Apostle Paul , and four Saints Evangelists with their symbols (Saint Matthew with an angel, Saint Mark with a lion, Saint Luke with a bull, Saint John with an eagle) . It was the first Cathedral in Russia with a pulpit, which is the attribute of a Catholic Church. The Cathedral was visited by the Tsar and the members of the Royal Family. During the service the Tsar stood on a special place called the Tsar's place . It is upholstered with red velvet with the representation of the double-headed eagle embroidered with silver and gold threads.

1762. Saint Nicholas Naval Cathedral is a magnificent monument of the baroque architectural style . The temple consists of two Churches - the lower and upper . The lower Church was consecrated in the name of Saint Nicholas of Myra , the Wonderworker-the patron Saint of all travelers, including those who travel by sea . The upper Church was consecrated in the name of the Epiphany of The Lord. Therefore , the full name of the Church is Saint Nicholas Epiphany Cathedral. Its construction was completed in 1762. According to legend, Peter the Great, who visited Astrakhan , admired the temple of Saint Nicholas and wished to see the same Temple in the capital. But such a Temple was not built during Peter's lifetime.

1801 - 1811. Kazan Cathedral.

1818 - 1858. Saint Isaac's Cathedral . is one of the most outstanding monuments of Russian art and architecture of the 19th century . It was created by the French Architect August Montferrand, and was under the construction for 40 years – from 1818 to 1858. From the very beginning it was considered to be the main and the greatest Cathedral in Sankt Petersburg and in Russia. The golden Dome of Saint Isaac's can be seen from any part of the city, and in clear weather – even from the outskirts . Its height is 101.5 m. The capacity of the Cathedral is more twelve thousand people.

1883 - 1907. Saint Savior on the Spilt Blood Church . It has long since been the tradition in Russian architecture to erect religious buildings on honour of historic events (...) According to the will of public and under the support of Alexander III the Memorial Church was put up on the place of the tragedy . The project of Architect A. Parland and Archimandrite Ignatius (I. V. Malyshev) was approved . It is based on old Moscow architecture and reminds the Cathedral of Intersession (Saint Basil's) in Moscow . The construction lasted for twenty four years from 1883 till 1907.

1902. Chapel of St Xenia Peterburgskaya . Chapel of St. Xenia the Blessed is an Orthodox Chapel located in Sankt Petersburg . It is assigned to the Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God, located in the same place, at the Smolensk Cemetery , in the construction of which, according to legend, the Saint herself participated . The Chapel was erected in 1902 at the burial place of Xenia the Blessed in memory of Her . (...) One of the most famous facts about a woman’s actions is her incognito support in the construction of the Smolensk church at the Smolensk cemetery, where her husband Andrei Fedorovich was buried earlier. At night Ksenia brought heavy bricks to the place of construction, thereby speeding up the process of building the church. Ksenia died at the beginning of the XIX century, she was buried at the same cemetery as Her spouse was, people began to come to her grave, taking away a piece of land filled with her relics , and later it had to be suspended, since the hill above the burial ground was empty . Then people laid a slab on the top, but Parish also pulled a stone out of the slab - they believed in the power of Xenia of Petersburg so much. Later , it was decided to erect a Chapel on the site of the grave of Xenia the Blessed , at first it was wooden (1830s), and in the beginning of the 20th century a stone Chapel was built. Ksenia the Blessed became the Main Patroness of the Sankt Petersburg city, and even during the great blockade of Leningrad , when the Chapel was a place for storing combustible materials, people came here from all over the city to ask for protection. In 1988 , the grave of Xenia was consecrated, and it was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church . Sfânta Xenia din Sankt Petesburg (24 ianuarie). Acatistul Sfintei Xenia din Sankt Petersburg.

Am servit tot atunci masa de seara pe la 5:45 PM. Am rostit în limba germană lipsește un scaun, es feld ein stuhl. Imediat mi s-a adus un scaun. Într-adevăr, lipsea un scaun.

Demographics of Ukraine.

Regiunea Odesa este o regiune din Ucraina cu capitala la Odesa. Transliterat se scrie Odeska Oblast. Regiunea are o suprafata de 33.300 km2 . Populatia sa, conform recensamantului din 1 mai 2004, este de 2,4 milioane de oameni , din care aproximativ doua treimi este populatia orasului-capitala Odesa.

Romanii din Ucraina constituie al treilea grup etnic (dupa Ucraineni si Rusi) din Ucraina, numarand 409.608 de persoane , sau 0,85% (dintre care Moldoveni s-au declarat 258.619 ori 0,53% , iar Romani 150.989 or 0,32%) din populatia Ucrainei, potrivit recensamantului populatiei din 2001 . Cert este cunoscut ca Romanii locuiesc pe teritoriul de astazi al Ucrainei inca din timpul Evului mediu timpuriu , cand aceste teritorii erau incluse in componenta formatiunilor timpurii romanesti (Tara Strasinetului, Tara Maramuresului, Satele Hanesti s.a.). Odata cu emanciparea treptata a nobilimii din tarile medievale romane de sub stapanirea Imparatiilor si Regatelor vecine , are loc intemeierea Voievodatelor istorice romanesti: Tara Romaneasca si Principatul Moldovei. Pe parcursul secolelor Romanii de astazi din Ucraina au locuit preponderent pe teritoriul Principatului Moldovei , dar au colonizat si pamanturi de la est de Nistru, infiintand asezari in Transnistria (practic nepopulata pe atunci ): Barzula, Codama, Ocna Rosie, Ananiev s.a. Astfel, pe la 1150 este atestat in analele rusesti orasul Bolohov . Istoricul rus Nikolai Karamzin scria in 1892 in volumul al IV-lea al Istoriei Imperiului Rus, ca orasul Bolohov se afla in guvernamantul Podoliei , pe drumul de la Kiev la Halici. In secolul al XVII-lea (1681 - 1683), Transnistria s-a aflat sub jurisdictia directa a lui Gheorghe Duca, Domnul Moldovei . Targurile de aici erau organizate ca si orasele moldovenesti, fiind conduse de Soltuzi si Pargari. Stapanirea Domnilor Moldovei era dovedita si de condicile de socoteli si biruri ale acestora.

Minority Rights LogoWorld Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples. Main languages: Ukrainian, Russian. Main religions: Christianity (Orthodox and Uniate Catholic). As recorded in the 2001 census, the main minority groups include Russians - 8,334,100 (17.3 per cent), Belarusians - 275,800 (0.6 per cent), Moldovans - 258,600 (0.5 per cent), Crimean Tatars - 248,200 (0.5 per cent) and Bulgarians - 204,600 (0.4 per cent). Ukraine also has smaller populations of Poles, Jews, Romanians, Armenians, Hungarians, Roma and other nationalities. While a subsequent census was supposed to be conducted in 2011, it has been repeatedly postponed and is now scheduled to take place in 2020. By 1989, although Russians were only in the majority in Crimea, they formed sizeable minorities in many of the other regions. The numerical strength of the Russians is reinforced by the importance of the Russian language in the republic. The 2001 Ukrainian census indicated that 14.8 per cent of ethnic Ukrainians considered Russian their first language. There continues to be extensive bilingualism in Ukraine and many of those who identified themselves as Ukrainian-speakers also know Russian very well. The Russian-Ukrainian linguistic boundary is itself fluid, especially in the central and eastern parts of the country, where a hybrid vernacular known as surzhik is widely used. Since the 1989 census a sizeable emigration has severely depleted the Jewish population, which in 2001 accounted for 103,600 people or 0.2 per cent of the population. At the same time, a lively Jewish cultural and religious life has developed in many parts of Ukraine. Jews have also organized a Jewish Congress. Jews are largely settled in Russified urban areas and the majority of them are Russian-speakers. The Ukrainian government has made significant efforts to foster good relations with the Jewish community and has also sought close contacts with Israel. There are, however, numerous anti-Semitic groups active in Ukraine. There were 151,000 Romanians and 258,600 Moldovans in Ukraine in the 2001 census. Determining the exact number of each group is controversial because of uncertainty about the nature of Moldovan identity (see Moldova). Northern Bukovyna (Chernivtsi) and southern Bessarabia (parts of the Odessa Oblast) were transferred from Romania to the UkSSR under the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, signed on 23 August 1939. The Romanian/Moldovan population of Chernivsti has been active since independence demanding cultural and political concessions from the Ukrainian government, particularly special language rights in areas of compact settlement. In December 1991, some Romanians/Moldovans in Chernivsti are reported to have boycotted the referendum on Ukrainian independence. The Romanian government declared the referendum void in the area and has sought to raise the issue of the 1939 territorial transfer in negotiations with Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has refused to discuss the territorial question or to repudiate the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement. Ethnic Bulgarians are concentrated in the Odessa region, around the town of Bolhrad and on the Zaporizhian coast. As with the Bulgarians in Moldova, the Bulgarian government has sought to build ties to the Bulgarian minority in Ukraine. In 1941, 350,000 Germans were exiled from Ukraine. In 1992 Germany and Ukraine agreed that Ukraine would resettle up to 400,000 Germans from Russia/Kazakhstan in the southern districts of Ukraine. Settlement has been limited, with most Germans preferring to relocate to Germany itself. Those Germans who have moved to Ukraine have received some assistance from the German government. Roma remain one of the most marginalized communities in Ukraine. Though the 2001 Census identified some 47,600 Roma in the country, rights groups have estimated they number between 200,000 and 300,000; the Council of Europe, for example, estimates that they number approximately 260,000.

Mânăstirea Uspenia (Adormirea Maicii Domnului) din Odesa.

Transfiguration Cathedral (Odessa). In August 1794, the solemn consecration of the city of Odessa took place; during this ceremony, the site for construction of a Church of Nicolas the Wonder-Worker was consecrated in Sobornaya Square; and in 1795, the first stone was laid. This Church became the forerunner of the future Cathedral. The construction works on the Church, to a design by the Engineer V. Vonrezant, were supposed to be completed in 1797; however , the solemn consecration of the Church was held only as late as on 25 May 1809. The Church's main altar was consecrated in the honour of the Lord's Transfiguration, the right one was consecrated in the honour of St. Nicolas and the left one was consecrated in the honour of St. Spyridon. After the Church had been consecrated, it received its final name, the Church of the Saviour's Transfiguration. In 1825, a design of a bell tower, developed by Giovanni Frapolli, was approved. The bell tower occupied a place to the west of the Church. The construction of the bell tower was completed in 1837. Due to the fact that in 1837 Odessa became the centre of a diocese, the Church of the SAVIOUR's Transfiguration became a Cathedral . A need emerged to extend the Cathedral. By commission of Archbishop Gabriel, in 1841 the Architect D. Heidenreich developed a design of the refectory connecting the bell tower with the old Church . Partial redesigns of the Cathderal were done in the 1870s and the 1880s, and in 1894 major repairs were performed. The Cathedral's architectural drawbacks, which had occurred due to multiple extensions, were corrected during the last redesign of 1900–1903; for the redesign, 220,000 roubles from the city's budget were spent . The redesign foresaw not only modifications of the facades, but also a significant rebuilding of the interiors. In this period, two side domes were constructed , and a portico was added to the eastern facade. The bell tower was decorated as well. The appearance of the Cathedral's interior was superb. The first thing that stroke when entering the Cathedral was an abundance of light and space. The Corinthian interior columns were faced with artificial white marble. The floor was paved with slabs of white marble. The new icon-stand was made of greyish white polished marble . Over the altar, a dome-shaped canopy rose, with columns of its own. After the 1903 redesign, the Transfiguration Cathedral became one of the Russian Empire's largest Churches, having room for 9,000 people . The size of its floor plan was 90 metres by 45 metres (around 300 feet by 150 feet), and the bell tower was 72-meter (almost 240-feet) high. The Cathedral's main sacred object was the wonder-working icon of Our Lady of Kasperovka, which each year, on 25 September, was delivered to Odessa from the village of Kasperovka and remained in the Cathedral until after the feast of Holy Easter. In the Transfiguration Cathedral, the following archbishops were buried: Innocent (1857), Joannicius (1877), Demetrius (1883) and Nicanor (1890). The Cathedral housed the tomb of Most Serene Duke Mikhail Vorontsov and his spouse. In 1936, the Transfiguration Cathedral was barbarously destroyed. The destruction of the Cathedral disturbed the city's urban development situation and the "silhouette" of the city's historic centre . The Cathedral's bell tower used to dominate the city's composition, with its best overview provided from the side of the sea. By a decree of the Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers (No. 700, as of 23.04.99), the Odessa's Transfiguration Cathedral , in Sobornaya Square, was included in "The Programme for Reconstruction of the Outstanding and Lost Monuments of the Ukraine's History and Culture." For the purpose of an implementation of the programme for the reconstruction of the Cathedral, an initiative group, with the participation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and of Odessa's citizens and under the patronage of Odessa's mayor Ruslan Bodelan, a charitable organisation, the Black-Sea Orthodox Foundation, was established in 1999. On 1 February 2000, the zero phase of the construction of a new church building started. The Odessa's mayor issued a number of instructions, which resulted in a completion of a package of design and construction works on the first-priority object, the bell tower. During the Christmas of 2001, the bell-tower was solemnly opened. The size and the location of the designed building have been determined by the uncovered foundations of the Cathedral destroyed in 1936. The building's overall dimensions are 46.6 metres by 90.6 metres (around 153 feet by 297 feet). The Cathedral's building is oriented in accordance with the Orthodox tradition, along the east-west axis. The building's eastern facade faces Preobrazhenskaya Street and Grecheskaya Street. The Cathedral's main entrance is situated in the bell tower, in the western facade, which faces Koblevskaya Street and Tolstogo Street. Apart from the main entrance, the building has four more entrances, two in the northern facade and two in the southern facade. The first service was held in the Cathedral's reconstructed lower temple on 6 January 2002. Ro.wikipedia. Catedrala Schimbarea la Fata din Odesa . Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral.
