Lanterns and temple - a photo on Flickriver

            The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow was built as a gratitude to God for help and intercession in the difficult period of the history of Russia - during the Patriotic War of 1812. This is a monument to the Russian people for their courage and heroism..The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow is the largest cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church, containing up to 10,000 people. In terms of the cathedral was an equal-end cross over 85 meters wide. The height of the lower block is about 37 meters, the height of the drum is 28 meters, the height of the dome with a cross is 35 meters. The total height of the structure is 103 meters, the internal space is 79 meters. Wall thickness - up to 3.2 meters. The outer part was framed by a double row of marble high reliefs made by sculptors Klodt, Loginovsky and Ramazanov. All the entrance doors - only twelve - were made of bronze, and the images of the saints decorating them were cast according to sketches by the famous sculptor Count F. P. Tolstoy. The building was restored as close as possible to the original. In the construction used sketches and drawings of the last century. However, there are differences. A stylobate part with a height of 17 meters was built on the place of the base-hill, where the Church of the Transfiguration, refectory chambers and auxiliary services are located. Here are also the Halls of Church Councils and meetings of the Holy Synod. A ramp is built for entry. Elevators are installed in the columns and in the stylobate part. Marble from the Chelyabinsk region and red granite brought from Finland were used for decoration.
