Walk Inside Our Lady of Kazan Cathedral

Women are no longer required to cover their heads to enter, however, all practicing Orthodox women wear a scarf.
Located on Nevsky Prospect, the Kazan Cathedral is one of the most notable architectural landmarks in the center. The inside is highly decorated by famous artists of the 19th century including many icon paintings. Our Lady of Kazan is the most famous.

STORYLINE:
A Russian icon that hung for years in Pope John Paul II's private chapel returned home to the Russian Orthodox Church on Saturday, a gesture the ailing pontiff hopes will improve relations between the two churches.
A senior Vatican delegation, headed by Cardinal Walter Kasper, handed over the 18th century replica of the Mother of God of Kazan icon to Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II during an Orthodox service marking the Feast of the Assumption in the Kremlin's Assumption Cathedral.
The 84-year-old John Paul, the Roman Catholic Church's first Slavic pope, has long hoped to visit Russia, and initially considered returning the icon himself.
But while the collapse of the atheist Soviet state made it possible to conceive of such a visit, the faith free-for-all that followed in Russia soured relations between the churches, giving birth to a new kind of antagonism and distrust a millennium after the Great Schism divided Christianity into eastern and western branches.
The Orthodox Church has accused the Vatican of trying to poach converts among Russian Orthodox believers, while the Catholic Church counters that it is trying to minister to the small Catholic community - about 600,000 people or less than 1 percent of Russia's 144 million.
Alexy emphasised earlier this month that the Pope is not welcome in Russia, telling President Vladimir Putin that the icon is just one of many copies so there is no reason for John Paul to personally deliver it.
The 32 by 26 centimetre (12 by 10 inch) icon, taken to the West after the 1917 Russian Revolution, was presented to the pope by a Catholic group in 1993 and has hung in his private chapel.
The original icon, which first appeared in the Volga River city of Kazan in 1579, is revered by Russian believers for its purported ability to work miracles, including the rout of Polish invaders from Russia in the early 17th century.
It hung in the Kazan Cathedral on Moscow's Red Square and the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg before disappearing.
A joint commission including representatives of the Vatican, the Russian church and the Russian Culture Ministry examined the pope's icon last year and determined it dated from around the 18th century.
But, nevertheless, the pope has said that it is dear to him, noting that it has watched over his daily work and the Vatican has emphasised this in talking about its return.

The icon was bought to Moscow with the help and mediation of the Foundation of St. Andrew, the Centre of National Glory and the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill I. The icon was taken out of the church and marched around the area during a procession.

Казанский собор воспринимался современниками как памятник ратных побед русского народа в Отечественной войне 1812 года. В 1812 году сюда доставлены трофеи: военные французские знамёна и личный жезл наполеоновского маршала Даву. Здесь же был похоронен фельдмаршал Кутузов.
До конца 1829 года в соборе продолжалась работа по отделке, которой руководил Огюст Монферран. Первый ремонт в соборе прошёл в 1844—1845 годах, второй, включавший в себя реставрацию образов и стенной живописи, — в 1862—1865 годах.
Несмотря на культовый характер здания, площадь перед ним всегда привлекала интерес революционно настроенных масс. 6 (18) декабря 1876 года здесь произошла первая демонстрация народнической группы «Земля и воля» и впервые выступил Георгий Плеханов (после октябрьской революции его временный памятник находился между изваяниями Кутузова и Барклая-де-Толли). Здесь достигали пика студенческие демонстрации, начинавшиеся у Аничкова моста. В Кровавое воскресенье 1905 года толпа соорудила баррикады из скамеек в только что оформившемся сквере у собора.
27 октября (8 ноября) 1893 года в соборе отпевали Петра Чайковского.
21 февраля (6 марта) 1913 года в соборе во время празднования 300-летия дома Романовых произошла давка, по официальной версии, унёсшая жизни 34 человек.
24 мая (6 июня) 1917 года в соборе путём «свободного голосования клира и мирян» состоялись выборы правящего архиерея (единственный раз за всю истории епархии). Большинство голосов выборщиков получил епископ Гдовский Вениамин.
18 января 1921 года митрополит Вениамин освятил «пещерный» зимний придел священномученика Гермогена, патриарха Московского.
Kazan Cathedral or Kazanskiy Kafedralniy Sobor (Russian: Каза́нский кафедра́льный собо́р), also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, probably the most venerated icon in Russia.
The construction was started in 1801 and continued for ten years while being supervised by Alexander Sergeyevich Stroganov. Upon its completion in 1811, the new temple replaced the Church of Nativity of the Theotokos, which was disassembled when the Kazan Cathedral was consecrated.
It was modelled by Andrey Voronikhin after the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Some art historians assert that Emperor Paul intended to build a similar church on the other side of Nevsky Prospect that would mirror the Kazan Cathedral but his plans failed to materialize.[citation needed] Although the Russian Orthodox Church strongly disapproved of the plans to create a replica of a Catholic basilica in Russia's then capital, several courtiers supported Voronikhin's Empire Style design.
After Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, and the commander-in-chief Mikhail Kutuzov asked Our Lady of Kazan for help, the church's purpose was to be altered. The Patriotic War over, the cathedral was perceived primarily as a memorial to the Russian victory against Napoleon. Kutuzov himself was interred in the cathedral in 1813; and Alexander Pushkin wrote celebrated lines meditating over his sepulchre. In 1815, keys to seventeen cities and eight fortresses were brought by the victorious Russian army from Europe and placed in the cathedral's sacristy. In 1837, Boris Orlovsky designed two bronze statues of Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly in front of the cathedral.
In 1876, the Kazan demonstration, the first political demonstration in Russia, took place in front of the church. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the cathedral was closed. In 1932 it was reopened as the pro-Marxist Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism. Services were resumed in 1992, and four years later the cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. Now it is the mother cathedral of the metropolis of St. Petersburg.
The cathedral's interior, with its numerous columns, echoes the exterior colonnade and is reminiscent of a palatial hall, being 69 metres in length and 62 metres in height. The interior features numerous sculptures and icons created by the best Russian artists of the day. A wrought iron grille separating the cathedral from a small square behind it is sometimes cited as one of the finest ever created.
The cathedral's huge bronze doors are one of three copies of the original doors of the Baptistry in Florence, Italy (the other two are in San Francisco and on the Baptistry itself).
