The Cathedral of Irkutsk - The Cathedral of the Icon of the Mother of God of Kazan was a huge Byzantine style four-pillared five-cupola place of worship. The main building being connected by a passage to the Cathedral Bell-tower.
For almost half a century, the idea of a great cathedral for Irkutsk was discussed. Finally, in 1849, , the Irkutsk millionaire-gold miner Evfimiy Andreevich Kuznetsov made a large donation of 250 thousand rubles. However, it took until April 17, 1875, on the birthday of Emperor Alexander II, for the solemn laying of the foundation stone. Almost from the beginning of the project disagreements arose between the Holy Synod and the architect, V.A. Kudelsky.....This finally led to his dismissal from the works.
Engineer-captain Mitrofan Nilovich Ogon-Dogonovsky, who compiled a new project of the Kazan Cathedral, was invited to supervise the construction of the cathedral. The facade of the cathedral was repeatedly adjusted, because it did not satisfy the metropolitan authorities in artistic terms. Finally, Emperor III wrote, annoyingly I agree, it's a little better, but not particularly tasteful. However, now there's nothing to be done.....
By June 1879, the walls of the cathedral were erected to the height of the second tier of windows, when a terrible fire destroyed half of the city and suspended the construction of the cathedral for six years.
After the fire, the engineer-architect Baron Heinrich Vladimirovich Rozen was invited to lead the works. The project was approved by the St. Petersburg Technical Committee with a resolution that the facade of the cathedral in its last form was more elegant in artistic terms.
The construction of the Cathedral was completed, finally, in 1894. In total, 904,025 rubles 42 ½ kopecks were spent for the construction and establishment of church utensils........
The consecration of the main chapel in the name of the icon of Kazan Mother of God took place on January 25, 1894. From the end of January until the end of August 1894, Archbishop Tikhon consistently consecrated the remaining altars of the new cathedral. In all, there were six altars in the church: the main one was in the name of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God; the right - Saint and Miracle-worker Nicholas; the left is the St. Evfimiya of Novgorod and St. Euphemia; on the right choirs - St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and St. Mitrofan of Voronezh; on the left choirs - St. Innocent of Irkutsk and the Monk Benjamin Caves and a cave shrine in the name of the Last Judgment of the Lord.
Irkutsk Kazan Cathedral was one of the largest religious buildings in Russia. It accommodated five thousand worshipers, and its height reached 60 meters (from the ground level to the top of the cross of the main dome, not including the underground burial vault).

Irkutsk Kazan Cathedral was one of the largest religious buildings in Russia.
After the October Revolution, in conditions of persecution and terror against the church, the life of the cathedral began to wain considerably. In 1919 the steam heating was destroyed and divine services began to be performed only in the warm season. The cathedral was blown up in 1932. The broken brick was used to fill the area, the level of which, after levelling off the remains of the cathedral, rose almost a metre.
In 1938, almost at the same place where the majestic Kazan Cathedral stood, began the construction of the House of Soviets.

HABS Fly-through of St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in Juneau, Alaska
St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church was built in 1893 in Juneau, Alaska. It is the second oldest surviving Russian Orthodox church in the state, and the only octagonal example. Although constructed twenty --six years after Secretary of State William H. Seward facilitated the US purchase of Alaska from Russia, the church can be seen as closely related to the period of Russian colonization (1741-1867). St. Nicholas Church was built soon after Juneau was founded (1880) and remains one of the oldest structures in the city. According to tradition, the construction of ST. Nicholas was a joint effort of local Tlingit Indians and Serbian miners.
The documentation of St. Nicholas was the result of a collaboration between NPS Alaska Regional Office, ROSSIA Inc. (Russian Orthodox Sacred Sites in Alaska) and Heritage Documentation Programs. The church and rectory were documented using laser scanning, panoramic photography, and hand measuring in July 2013. HDP architects Mark Schara and Jeremy Mauro completed the documentation in partnership with Grant Crosby, Historical Architect, NPS Alaska Regional Office. The flythrough was created by Jeremy Mauro using pointcloud data captured in the field with a Leica C10 laser scanner. The pointcloud was colored with high dynamic range photography. The structure's relatively small footprint and plain exterior belies the spaciousness and ornamentation of the interior. Of particular note is the iconostas, which was fabricated in Russia in 1893 and shipped across the Pacific to Juneau. Most of the furniture was removed from the interior during the scanning and photography to allow for better coverage of the architectural elements.

The Life and Work of St. Nicholas of Japan
#orthodoxsaints
Life of Saint Nicolas of Japan (1836 -1912).
St. Nicolas is known as the Enlightener of Japan, and Equal to the Apostles. After being ordained a priest in Russia, he emigrated to Japan and worked as a young priest at the Russian consulate in Hokodate, Japan. Initially, he had to face the xenophobia and persecution of the Shogunate, but remained faithful in spreading the Gospel. Eventually, as the bishop of the nascent Church in Japan he oversaw a thriving indigenous Orthodox community of more than 4000 converts including a large number of Japanese priests and deacons.
He is recognized as a model missionary because he fully immersed himself in Japanese life and learned the language, religion, customs and culture of Japan in his effort to get close to the people. He also translated many scriptural, liturgical, and theological texts into Japanese. His memory is celebrated on February 3 or February 16 (old calendar).

Timeline of Eastern Orthodoxy in North America
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
