Of course it's great. But what surprised me and my loved ones was that we were in the cathedral in the morning, with the morning service still, but where are the people? Literally five people, we were passing through, but I didn't expect so few people. The cathedral is beautiful, both inside and out. And while you climb the stairs, not everyone will be able to, but you can also go around from the other side, just right for an old man.. Whoever will be there, be sure to visit.

The temple, capable of accommodating up to two thousand people, more than 50 meters high, with 21 bells, the largest of which is more than 5 tons, opened in 2011. The first service was held here on the Annunciation.
And for a quarter of a century now, people have been going to the main temple of Vitebsk to pray to God, to worship the shrines for which the majestic cathedral is famous.
Among them, the most revered are the icon of the Mother of God "Assumption", painted by icon painters of the workshops of the Epiphany Kuteinsky Monastery in Orsha, icons with fragments of the relics of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk, as well as Seraphim of Sarov, which was painted by Arzamas monks and presented by Metropolitan George of Nizhny Novgorod, as well as the icon of Sergius of Radonezh; images of the Mother of God of Orsha, locally venerated Saints Nicholas Okolovich and Vladimir Elenevsky. There is also an icon of Spyridon of Trimiphunt, the Wonderworker from the Meteora Monastery in Greece. She was consecrated on the island of Corfu on the relics of the saint and taken to Vitebsk.

The grandiose cathedral is located on a hill, from there you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city and the confluence of two rivers. It was built in 1743-1777 as a Uniate church. During the construction, the Basilica of San Carlo al Corso in Rome was taken as a model. Since 1799, it has been an Orthodox cathedral. It was blown up and destroyed to the ground in 1936 and completely rebuilt from 2001 to 2011. There is a staircase leading from the embankment to the cathedral, there are many steps, but it is worth climbing. You can see a beautiful sunset

I recently crossed a child, in general, it didn't go too badly.
My father was attentive, he told me what to do and when to do it.
Take an offering with you, this is a small towel that the priest wipes his hands with, I did not take it, I had to buy it locally.
From the nuances, the heater, which is aimed at keeping the kids warm, stopped working at some point, but it's good that it was there at all.
By the way, I quickly resuscitated him, just at the right moment, when the child was after ablution.

A gorgeous cathedral, very beautiful and majestic for unity with the Lord. There is an atmosphere, a special place.
I liked everything about the atmosphere and appearance, but the prices, even for candles, are very high. In the neighboring temples they are much lower. This is probably due to the influx of tourists.

The cathedral is quite spacious.
If desired, you can retire.
Without a sound, the words of prayer are illegible.
There is a casket - a reliquary with fragments of many saints.

Airy, light, sophisticated white Cathedral with golden domes. Its advantage is, first of all, its location on the high bank of the Western Dvina River. 120 steps lead down to the river. The new embankment is like a cut for this diamond. The view of the cathedral from the steps, if you go down a little, is extraordinary. And the view from the Rear, from the opposite shore, is simply fascinating. In all the most beautiful photos, postcards from Vitebsk, you will see this recognizable temple. A walk from it and further along the Old Town will be a pleasure. It is very beautiful when it is illuminated in the evening.

It is located in a very beautiful place, on the high bank of the river. There is a beautiful square around, there are bridges nearby. It is a former Basilian monastery (1743-1777), a classic of the Vilna Baroque. The temple was restored in 2011.

The landmark of the city is the beautiful cathedral located on castle hill. The former site of the first castle and bastion on the river. An old fortress with many secrets and dungeons. Not so long ago, they made a convenient multi-tiered staircase to the cathedral. There is a beautiful view of the city. A great place to share a selfie.

There are many temples in the center of Vitebsk, this is the largest of all, has two levels (lower and upper temple). It is located on a mountain, so it can be seen from afar. There is also a beautiful view of the city from the temple.

The magnificent cathedral. I left very positive impressions. Everything is predisposed for people. For women, there are headscarves to cover their heads and if they wear headbands like skirts.
Inside, they will tell you everything, they will tell you everything if you ask.
After visiting the family, they came out with some kind of peace and ease.
Be sure to visit, you won't regret it.

Having been in this place, it is difficult to give an assessment. Everything inspires. Both architecture and beauty. And the location of the temple. Beautiful on the outside, divine on the inside. You need to visit here, feel everything internally. Indescribable beauty, power and mystery. I advise everyone to visit the temple at least sometimes. To purify the soul, to free the mind, to take a break from our hustle and bustle.
