I went to some churches in St. Petersburg through activities of the program and free activities. I am going to write about St Lsaac's Cathedral and Cathedral of the Resurrection.
1: St Lsaac's Cathedral
St Lsaac's Cathedral is the 3rd largest church in the world. When I entered the church, I was impressed by the beauty and grandeur of the church. I learned about Russian Orthodox from translator. The features of Orthodox church are icons. Women of Russian Orthodox have to wear a hat and skirt in church.
2: Cathedral of the Resurrection
When I saw Cathedral of the Resurrection, I thought many domes were interesting. I learned about this church's history from guide. This church was built where Alexander2 was killed. It was used as a warehouse during the Soviet era. This church's all paintings were made with Mosaic, so it took a lot of time to restore.
The Russian church is original culture of Russian. It is interesting for me to experience the real things.
