This lavishly illustrated publication, prepared by Bethany LLC, is dedicated to this unique monument of Russian church architecture. Built in 1913 with the blessing of Father John of Kronstadt and consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of navigation, the Naval Cathedral became a memorial church to the heroes of the Russian Navy, a symbol and dominant architectural feature of Kronstadt.
Closed to church services after the Revolution, it has regained its former status, artistic splendor, and prayerful life thanks to the unprecedented work of builders, restorers, and artists, with the support of the International Charitable Foundation and the participation of leading design and restoration studios.
This book, containing detailed information about the history, artistic style, and restoration of the cathedral, allows readers to appreciate the scale of the design, the beauty of the frescoes, and the decorative embellishments of the church, to sense the grandeur of the work of its beautifiers, and to be imbued with the spirit of the triumph of Orthodox culture.
