Морской Никольский собор – украшение Кронштадта........St. Nicholas Cathedral – decoration of Kronstadt

            Морской собор в Кронштадте освящен во имя Святого Николая – небесного заступника всех мореплавателей. История храма богата и драматична, хотя древним его назвать нельзя. Никольский собор заложили в 1902 году, освятили в 1913 г....Такой особенный собор!
Невольно поднимаешь взор
На купол жёлто-золотой,
Что с якорями, кружевной.

Чем необычен русский храм?
Он всем погибшим кораблям,
Моря России бороздившим,
Врагов в их воды не пустившим.

Военным, парусным судам,
А также русским морякам,
Что славу, честь стране вернули,
В морских пучинах потонули.

Иконы в храме в ряд стоят,
А как обычно, не висят
И стены не заполоняют,
А их героям уступают.

Морской собор не только храм
Погибшим русским морякам,
Но очень значимый музей,
В нём экспонаты для людей.................................The Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt was consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas, the heavenly intercessor of all navigators. The history of the temple is rich and dramatic, although it cannot be called ancient. St. Nicholas Cathedral was founded in 1902, consecrated in 1913.....Such a special cathedral!
Involuntarily you raise your gaze
On the yellow-gold dome,
What's with the anchors, lace.

What is unusual about the Russian temple?
It is to all the lost ships,
The seas of Russia plowed,
Enemies were not allowed into their waters.

Military, sailing vessels,
as well as Russian sailors,
That glory and honor were returned to the country,
Drowned in the depths of the sea.

Icons in the temple are in a row,
And as usual, they don't hang
And the walls don 't fill up,
And their heroes are inferior.

The Naval Cathedral is not only a temple
To the lost Russian sailors,
But a very significant museum,
There are exhibits for people in it.
