Orthodox Moscow

Translated from Ancient Greek Orthodoxy means genuine teaching and on this 2 and a half tour you will receive genuine teachings about Russian Orthodoxy as you visit some of the most famous and ancient Orthodox churches of the Kitay Gorod area. We will see: Kazan cathedral - home church of the Romanov dynasty St.
Basil cathedral -- the instantly recognisable cathedral which is so commonly associated with Moscow Bogoyavlensky cathedral - one of the oldest in Moscow St.
Barbara church -- an example of a church build to honor a Christian martyr St.
George church - on Pskov mountain. The majestic Christ the Saviour Cathedral. Russia was christened into Orthodoxy in 988.
Our ancestors chose it because they were struck by the majesty of Orthodox church interiors and the services of ancient Byzantine churches. During this tour you too will have a chance to have the same experience as ancient Russians seeing an elaborate Orthodox church for the first time. Have you ever wondered about why Russian churches are adorned with domes and a unique style of cross? Do you know how Russians continued to practice their religion during the Soviet Period when the practice of worship was outlawed by the state? Do you know that it was not always certain that Russia would become a Christian country? All of this and much more will be discussed on this tour! For more information:
