The temple is of amazing beauty!
When you enter the territory, you first see a wooden church - it is beautiful, cozy, and small. My daughter really liked it)
The Church of All Saints stands on a hill, and first you definitely need to go around and see it from all sides. Light, airy, majestic, as it should be. The handrails of the wide white staircase are decorated with bells. The top of the facade is decorated with flake cells, the lower part of which is covered with gilding. When the sun hits them, the white cells are filled with bizarre glare and flashes, it's fascinating!
After climbing a high staircase and opening a massive door, you will enter a light and festive temple. The interior is fresh and delicate, pink-blue, slightly touched with gilding.
Personally, the temple caused me a mixed feeling of goodness and childish delight. And my father is calm, friendly, with a very kind and open face.
When I'm in Minsk, I'll definitely come back. And more than once.
I recommend you to visit.

I accidentally saw this temple on the map when I was making a tourist route for a walk. We visited this place. It's a very beautiful temple, big and majestic. I liked the mosaic images of saints at the very top of the building. A large staircase, as if it leads to heaven. It caused such associations. The territory is well maintained, it's nice to walk there. There is even a baptismal font, very interesting in appearance, for the first time I saw it. Unfortunately, we did not go inside, as we did not take handkerchiefs with us. The temple also offers a good view of the city, as well as from the observation deck.

We go to this temple every week. It is a very beautiful temple and the surrounding area. There is an interesting museum and a crypt.
The church has a Sunday school and a choir (chapel) for children of different ages. Youth movement for 16+.
The rector, Father Theodore Povny, is a wonderful preacher, even scholars from different places come to listen to him.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in Minsk ! The beauty, especially the interior, is simply incredible! You can stand and look at all the icons and walls for a long time. If you're lucky, you 'll also hear a concert of bells. The services take place at a certain time. You can put candles on . The view of Minsk from the observation platforms around the temple is incredible! I definitely recommend you to visit

A very beautiful majestic temple. I like that you can stand and pray in peace, as the temple is spacious. They are very kind and friendly priests, they exude kindness and true Christianity. It is also nice to hear interesting sermons by Feder Povny, who is clearly a literate person. But unfortunately there are a couple of disadvantages, this is - at the evening service, when people approach the icon, there is not a pleasant man who rudely pushes people, they say, they must be baptized in advance and go to the anointing. I think it's not Christian to distract and confuse people like that. There are churches in Minsk where many times more people go to be anointed and no one pushes anyone. Also, the pre-holiday services in the evening in the church begin at 17.00, people work until 17.30- 18.00 and you may not be in time for the service, it turns out they come to the end of the service. The canons of St. Andrew of Crete will be read soon, I would like to come to the beginning of the reading and not to the middle or even worse to the end.

The most beautiful place!
It's magnificent.
It is a well-deserved landmark!
Many people love it very much…
I could not write a wish to the "House of Mercy", I will leave it in the hope of being heard here.
I really like to visit the "house of mercy", but I'm not the only one who is confused by the presence of alcohol
in the "drink" after communion…
Otherwise, everything is fine with you! Wonderful fathers, a beautiful place.
But I don't want to get into "confusion" after receiving the Holy Mysteries of Christ... There are a lot of children there, maybe there are people who can't snort alcohol... I know that
this moment is not the only one that upsets me. If possible, take this into account.
For the sake of truth, I found out today that you can ask for a glass of water without wine... but I'm sure not everyone knows about it.…

The cathedral is unique to everyone!
This is the best cathedral in my city.
Architecture at the highest level. The bells are beautiful, and there is a monument to Patriarch Alexy nearby. The services are good.
It is a must-visit both for prayers and just to look at the temple.

The All-Holy Church (belor. Tsarqua of the Nineteenth Saints) is a Minsk memorial church in the name of All Saints and in memory of the victims who served to save our Fatherland. It is located in Minsk, at the intersection of Kalinovsky and Vsekhsvyatskaya streets.
Unfortunately, we arrived here quite late, so we didn't have time to explore the entire territory.
But to our great happiness, we visited here on Christmas Eve, the eve of Christmas.
Large well-maintained territory.
The temple is simply stunning in its grandeur.
The idea of the Temple was based on the culture of prayerful memory, which honors saints and prays for fallen soldiers, defenders of the fatherland, victims of wars and all the dead.
The people remain united for centuries, in eternity, in the memory of every person.
Wars and time erase not only lives, but also names. How to honor nameless saints and heroes of the spirit?
Prayerfully addressing all the saints.
A church dedicated to the Holy Trinity is located on the same territory with it. It was built in the tradition of northern wooden tent temples. It has three domes in honor of the Holy Trinity. The height from the base of the cross to the floor is 34 meters. The design work has been started since 1999.
Also located on the territory are the House of Mercy, the Crypt and the Museum of Memory.
But since we were in a hurry to start the service, we didn't have time to visit anywhere except the Temple. 😔
We entered the Temple, and time stopped... 😇
I haven't heard such a church choir for a very long time. It's something unreal, touching to the core. And I didn't feel like rushing anywhere at all.…
I can't tell you much about the history of the temple, except for information obtained from the Internet.
The church in honor of All Saints has the shape of a tent topped with a cross.
The tent symbolizes the Mother of God and Christ as the head of the Church.
The tent is based on the number nine, formed by eight wide faces with a geometric center — its top.
In the crypt (the lower altar part of the temple), earth from the fields of all the great historical battles in defense of the Belarusian land will be collected.
To the left and right of the tent there are two side chapels — they remind of the compatriots who died during the wars.
The five domes of the memorial church are erected in honor of All the saints of Belarus, in memory of all the soldiers who fell for the fatherland, all those who were tortured without guilt in prisons and camps, and all the murdered children.
What else can I add personally?
I definitely recommend this place to visit!
I visit Minsk several times a year, and I'll come back here to see what I haven't been to yet.
I would like to note that the history and memory of fallen soldiers are carefully preserved in Belarus.
I will write separately about the museum of the Belarusian State Museum of the Great Patriotic War.
I highly recommend visiting this museum too!
(Perhaps I have a special reverent perception of these places, because my grandfather defended the city of Roslavl - on September 25, 1943, he was thanked by the Order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Marshal of the Soviet Union, Comrade STALIN, dated September 25, 1943, for excellent military actions in the battles for the liberation of the city.
His combat path passed through the cities of
Mogilev, Rogachev, Bobruisk, Vilna, Kaunas, Bialystok, Brest, Holm, Lublin, Warsaw (wounded again and being in hospital No. 4866 from 17.01 to 6.02.1945); received the medal "For the Liberation of Warsaw" and No. 002903), Briskov, Potsdam.
As part of the 1st Belorussian Front, he participated in the storming of Berlin. On 05/02/1945, he was seriously concussed and sent to the UgPEP hospital in Lublin. I was unconscious for a long time and learned about the Victory only ten days later, when I woke up in a hospital on the Belorussian front).
And so, when you have visited both the museum of the Great Patriotic War and the memorial church of All Saints, you get a complete "picture" and an understanding of the greatest value and importance of these places, regardless of whether you are a believer or a complete atheist.…
I confidently recommend it TO EVERYONE!)

A large temple, beautiful interior decoration, wonderful priests, a wonderful male choir.
But there's a strange problem with the PROSPHORA! If you want to buy prosphora and eat it after communion, you need to remember to take care of this in advance, preferably as soon as you cross the threshold of the Temple (after "Our Father" it is already impossible to buy). We periodically forget about this feature of the Temple and console the upset younger child for a long time.

We have just visited the temple complex. Churches are wonderful! But the staff, next to the cafe near the dressing room, leaves much to be desired.. We wanted to take a peek at the hall with our daughter- not to enter it, of course- they chased us out of the hallway with a filthy broom (!). We hadn't even reached the hall yet. Rudely. It sounded snobbish. I think such unkind people don't have a place to work in a church where they teach love. I do not recommend visiting

I didn't really like it. Yes, everything is beautiful and rich. And here's a wooden church for you, here's a temple on the mountain for you. But, it's all kind of theatrical. There is no sense of sanctity. Oh, and there's this sculpture in the middle of the courtyard. It's a twofold feeling. Of course, it's like going to a museum. Not even a museum, but just a beautiful place.

A large beautiful temple, unfortunately, the lower temple (you can only get to it with an excursion, it is better to prepare in advance) and did not have time to get to the service, it was held in a small wooden temple nearby. The temple is located next to the memorial cemetery, fans of this format will have a place to walk
Inside the temple there is a modern painting depicting the main temples of Belarus and the date of their construction, a very interesting and informative course, as well as famous saints
The limping area is well-groomed and cozy, many thanks to the people who take care of it. If you are in Minsk, you must visit, you can get to the temple by metro on the blue line

Despite the fact that I have to travel 10 km within Minsk to get here, I definitely visit this temple once a week or two. The interior is stunning, externally the temple looks like a tent. The natural theme at the entrance is replaced by a transitional one in the altar part. The atmosphere is excellent. There is absolutely no feeling of crowding, even when it is crowded. I stay in this temple for an hour and a half in prayer. The history of the temple is short, but it is dedicated to a whole period of the military history of our peoples. I strongly advise you to visit!

The name "monument temple" describes this complex well. This solemn Orthodox church has an unusual architecture and exquisite decoration inside. According to the ministers, icons of all Orthodox saints can be seen inside. And the central dome in the color of the sky rarely leaves anyone indifferent.
Nearby there is a small log temple-teremok. It is a cozy church with a pleasant aroma of wood inside and an indescribable confidential atmosphere.
If you have not been here yet, be sure to plan a trip here and you will be fascinated by this place.

A gigantic, gigantic cathedral, and very expensive. Architecturally, it has a tall tent dome, traditional kokoshniks, a Gothic nave, a bell tower, drums, and golden domes. And of course, the basement, as it is now without it. A pompous staircase leads to the entrance to this monumental structure, and not everyone can overcome it. The interior could not be viewed. At 17 o'clock this colossal cathedral was already closed. The grounds are well maintained, with a fountain and a really beautiful wooden church.

This temple was built in memory of the dead residents of Belarus during the Second World War. It is a very beautiful structure from the outside and stunningly magnificent inside. You can take pictures. There is also a wooden temple nearby, so to speak, a temporary structure for the period of construction of the main building. But it turned out to be so successful that it was decided to leave it as an independent church - the Trinity Church. Between these temples there is a font fountain with figures of Moses and crucified Jesus. Baptisms take place in this font fountain, but only in the warmer months. They turn it off for the winter. There is a good store
souvenirs, as well as religious and artistic objects. This temple complex is a must-visit.

The temple is certainly beautiful, but they spat in my soul in it...
Do you know the parable about God who is not allowed into the church?
I saw this temple from the observation deck of the national library and decided to take a look. Beautiful and rich on the outside. Everything inside is also done with taste. I decided to light a candle to a saint whom I respect... And then imagine the scene: I'm in the process of praying and lighting a candle, then my aunt comes up to me, who says that the temple is open until five and I have to come tomorrow. He pulls out the candles and blows them out... Including mine...
couldn't you wait a minute? A praying man stands with a candle! Was it so difficult to wait and do it after leaving?!! They spat in my soul. Therefore, all beauty has become irrelevant.
