cathedral of the epiphany

中文译名为“喀山圣母大教堂”，是伊尔库兹克市最大的东正教教堂。建筑很宏伟，外观颜色鲜艳，进入教堂内部，高高的穹顶，香蜡弥漫的气味，圣母像显得庄严肃穆。女性进入教堂前要用头巾把头发围住，这是当地的习俗。有幸遇到大主教做弥撒。另外，教堂对面是一家批发市场，可以买到比商店里便宜的伏特加、各种点心、巧克力、红茶等，很划算哦！

When I think of Russia, I think of gorgeous cathedrals midst snow-covered streets. And when I visited the Cathedral of the Epiphany, that's exactly what I found. It's a beautifully decorated church, right by the river, and very close to other attractions (if you visit this, you'll be very close to the Monument to the Founders of Siberia; the Church of Our Saviour; Eternal Flame; Kirov Square; and the Chapel of the Cathedral of Kazan icon of Virgin Mary).

This nice little church is next to my clients warehouse and it was a pleasant surprise. Even thought it is small the colors make it stand out. There is not much to do in the city, so take advantage!

Just after the monument of the Cossack (Founder of Irkutsk) you will find the Cathedral a stone's throw away. Don't miss it. This is a must-see! The interior is amazing.Highly Recommended!

the Cathedral is really beautiful. Colourful and interesting architecture. I was in Irkutsk for four days and I went to this place almost everyday for drawing. This catherdral is really worth to visit.

this was near our hotel and it is beautiful inside and out, being our first Russian church I was captivated by its beauty inside and out, well and truly worth a visit!!!

inside and out. Be sure to walk around the entire complex to take in the interesting architectural structures. And save enough time to take in the colorful paintings on the ceiling and walls once inside.

I ended up finding this cathedral on a rainy day, all wet and without any plans. The outside captivated me, so I decided to enter, although I'm not a church-fan. And it was a great decision: the interior is even more impressing, with murals covering all walls from top to bottom. Really worth stopping by and visiting it!

A beautifully restored church that managed to survive the communist purge. The interior that has been restored is covered completely with colourful murals. The side wings of the interior are still under restoration but the exterior is magnificent.

This large red, blue and white cathedral is eye-catching from outside and beautiful inside. It's interior is richly decorated in classic Russian Orthodox style. My pictures are worth more than words.This is in fact Epiphany Cathedral. On more than one internet site, the Bogoyavlensky is misidentified as Epiphany Cathedral. It is also beautiful, but nowhere near Epiphany Cathedral, and bears no resemblence to Epiphany Cathedral.

собор сейчас находится на реконструкции. Почти все закрыто. И кругом стройматериалы. Но внутреннее убранство открытой части дают представление о красоте и богатстве храма.

Видел ночью. Красиво подсвечен, оригинальные ледяные фигуры на территории, если б не мороз, постоял бы дольше полюбовался.

Архитектура собора - уникальная ! Похожие храмы встречаютсчя на Русском Севере. Перед тем, как куда-нибудь ехать - я всякий раз прихожу в этот храм помолиться Николаю Чудотворцу.

Жил в Иркутске всю жизнь и как-то не предавал особого значения этому зданию. А тут вернулся через 4 месяца отсутствия и понял, что собор - шикарен. Вид его очень впечатляющий и гармоничный. Еще бы расчистили местность вокруг и было вообще здорово!

壁画が印象的な教会。イルクーツク市街中心地に近く、他にも教会や広場があり見学も便利。内部の造りに圧倒された。
