Catedral de Kazán

La catedral de La nuesa Señora de Kazán ye la principal catedral de la ciudá de San Petersburgo (Rusia) y ta consagrada a la Virxe de Kazán, la que ye probablemente'l iconu más veneráu de Rusia.

Historia

El templu foi construyíu ente 1801 y 1811 pol arquiteutu Andréi Voronijin y ye notable, sobremanera, por una gran columnata de 96 columnes. Foi construyida nel llugar de l'antigua ilesia de piedra pa guardar l'iconu antiguu de Nuesa Orar de Kazán, a la cual débese'l so nome.

En 1800 el Emperador Pablo I ordenó construyir la catedral según el modelu de la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma. La construcción de la catedral duró 10 años y foi entamada en planta de cruz llatina, al contrariu que la mayoría de templos ortodoxos que tienen planta de cruz griega, como la Catedral de Cristo Salvador en Moscú.

Una de los intereses d'esta catedral ye que l'altar atópase na nala esti del templu, ente que la salida principal y la fachada asitiar al oeste. Polo tanto la famosa fachada de columnates que dan a la Avenida Nevski, nun ye la fachada principal de la catedral, sinón que ye en realidá una de les fachaes llaterales. Les nales de la columnata formen la plaza enfrente de la catedral.

La catedral de Kazán foi percibida polos sos contemporaneos como un monumentu a les victories militares de los rusos na guerra contra Napoleón. En 1812 equí fueron unviaes banderes de los exércitos derrotaos de Napoleón. Amás, na catedral ta soterráu'l mariscal de campu Mijaíl Kutúzov. La Catedral de La nuesa Señora de Kazán ye una de los cumes de la arquiteutura neoclásica y exemplu brillosu de la síntesis d'artes.

Dempués de la Revolución Rusa de 1917, la catedral foi cerrada. En 1932, foi abierta de nuevu anque como "Muséu de la Hestoria de la relixón y l'ateísmu", en 1992 consagrar de nuevu como catedral ortodoxa y cuatro años más tarde en 1996, la catedral foi devuelta a la Ilesia Ortodoxa Rusa.

La catedral de Kazán nun foi la única catedral de la ciudá de San Petersburgo, pos hubo otres anteriores tales como, la catedral de San Pedro y San Pablo y la Catedral de San Isaac. A pesar d'esto, la Catedral de Kazán ye la ilesia catedral principal de la ciudá al ser la see del obispu ortodoxu de San Petersburgo.

Nel interior de la catedral ye onde s'atopa'l milagrosu iconu de la Virxe de Kazán, que ye un símbolu de la fe rusa. A pesar d'esto, esisten por toa Rusia y l'estranxeru varios templos y catedrales cola advocación de La nuesa Señora de Kazán.

The cathedral is right in the centre and has free entrance, so there is no reason to skip a visit. You'll see some orthodox traditions, as people come here to light candles and pray to the icons.

It is one of greatest SPB churches that is still working as a church - You will not only see interior but also services.

If you are in the city you must visit Kazan. The cathedral is nothing exceptional but the oitside is worth the trip. Around Xmas decorations in front are very interesting!
