Splendid Temple of Our Saviour in a Western District of Moscow

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Splendid Temple of Our Saviour in a Western District of Moscow. Built to commemorate the disastrous failure of Napoleon's attempt to conquer the Czar's empire. Seven thousand people attend mass at one time under the dome, which is covered with pure gold. The gilding of the five domes alone cost nearly a million dollars. The procession is a party of school girls coming from the church guarded by a vigilant chaperone. // Comment: "Western district" is an overstatement; the cathedral is merely 600 meters from the Kremlin wall
