Thanks to the efforts of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior Foundation, the Orthodox faithful can now view the architecture and iconography of the famous cathedral and the surrounding sights of the Russian capital from anywhere in the world.

With the tour, you can “visit” the main church, including the altar, the lower Church of the Transfiguration, the Hall of Church Councils, the observation deck, and more, reports Patriarchia.ru.

The tour includes information on architectural details, sacred objects and icons, and the relics housed in the Cathedral.

The monster communist Lazar Kaganovich said "Mother Russia is cast down. We have ripped away her skirts." The demonic bolshevik said this after the destruction of the original Church. Glory Be To Our God (THOXA SI O THEOS), that the Church has been rebuilt, as many other Churches have been rebuilt in Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere. They used communism as the tool to try to destroy the Orthodox People, the Orthodox Churches, and the Orthodox Monarchies. They failed to destroy our People and our Faith, and let us pray for the restoration of the Orthodox Monarchies. They will now try to use new tools like no good liberalism, secular humanism, the ecumenical nonsense movement, and other garbage movements and ideas, to try to destroy our Holy Orthodox Faith. We must remain united, all of our people, as we are the only Church who can resist the Antichrist or false Messiah, as Patriarch Kirril recently said. Let us also pray for the quick end of this tragic war in the Ukraine. We must remain Orthodox Brothers with one another. When we are divided that only pleases those who hate us, how many times I have said this. Just my humble opinion.
