Glory to God for all things!

In the past I have joyfully reported to you that a new Russian Orthodox Cathedral was being built on the grounds of the former Ipatiev House, where the holy martyrdom of the Royal Martyrs Tsar Nicholas II and Family happened on July 17, 1918, in Ekaterinburg, Russia (click here to read this posting)

We now know the name: Christ-on-the-Blood Russian Orthodox Cathedral, (Russian: Hram-na-kowi) and it's expected to be completed by June/July 2003. Upon completion the Cathedral will be consecrated, and also being considered that a Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church meeting of the Moscow Patriarchate under His Holiness Patriarch Alexis II, will take place at the Cathedral.

The ruling Russian Orthodox bishop of Ykaterinburg, Russia is His Eminence, Archbishop Vikenty. I am presenting you the photo of this Cathedral Church now being built on the grounds of the former Ipatiev House.
