๐๏ธ #OTD in 1883 the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow was consecrated. It is currently known as one of the tallest orthodox temples in the world.
โช๏ธThe cathedral was commissioned by Tsar Alexander I on December 25, 1812, following the defeat and withdrawal of Napoleon's troops from Russia. The Tsar proclaimed the cathedral a monument of gratitude for the intervention of "Divine Providence for saving Russia" from doom, and as a memorial to the sacrifices of the Russian people.
However it was not opened until 70 years later when Alexander I's grandson was-ascending the throne. Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky's"1812 Overture" was written with the cathedral's completion in mind, but it was premiered in August 1882 in a tent outside the unfinished church.
In 1931 the cathedral was demolished as part of Moscow reconstruction plan and in 1994-1999 rebuilt.

Happy holiday, Slavs!
๐On June 25 the Slavs all over the world celebrate the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs.
The Slavs represent one of the largest linguistic and cultural community of the peoples of the world, which total number is estimated around 300-350 million people.
There are Western (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Kashubians and Luzhichans), Southern (Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Macedonians, Slovenes, Montenegrins) and Eastern Slavs (Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians, Rusyns).
The Slavs make up the bulk of the population of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, they also live in all post-Soviet countries, Hungary, Greece, Germany, Austria, Italy, in the Americas and in Australia. Most Slavs are Christians, with the exception of Bosniaks who converted to Islam during the Ottoman rule over Southern Europe.
The Day was first celebrated in 1957 in the Soviet Union as a sign of friendship between Russians, Belarussians and Ukrainians and was created in order to revive what was lost, to remember those traditions that our ancestors believed in and to finally become proud of folk wisdom.
Every year, folk festivals take all over Russia and other states where Slavic people found their home.
