St. Eudokia of Heliopolis -an early Orthodox Christian saint, venerated a martyr.
The church is located in the quiet part of the city. Somewhere at the back of Kremlin, in a quiet neighborhood near the river Kazanka.
I didn't even know this church exists until one time in summer of 2011, we tried to discover small streets around the city. The church is old but is well maintained.
I'm linking with:
The cross at the top is quite ornate in contrast to the rest of the building. I don't think I have ever been inside a round church.

ReplyDeleteThe cross is also what caught my eye. Is there a specific name for that type of cross? It is a beautiful church.
ReplyDeleteHello Emma, I don't really know if there is a specific name for this type of cross. I just know that it is an Orthodox Christian cross which is a little different from Catholic. I'll ask my friends if there is and I'll write you about it.
DeleteBeautiful church! I would love to hear the bells in the tower ring!
