Transfiguration Cathedral, Krivoy Rog

History Cathedral

Its history began more recently, in 1989. That`s when residents and parishioners of Holy Ascension church approached the mayor with a request to build a church because the old church could not always accommodate all the parishioners.

Place in the Cathedral elected considering terrain and so that it is clearly visible from a distance.

In April 1990 a place in the Transfiguration Cathedral was consecrated. Construction was 12 long years.

Consecration of the Cathedral took place on 15 July 2003 Metropolitan Vladimir of Kiev. That same day, the first liturgy. By the way, the temple can accommodate about 3,000 parishioners.

Already a year in the territory of the cathedral began construction of the bell tower. It is 48 meters high and 4 floors. On the top floor are 22 bells. They cast copper, nonferrous metals with the addition of various additives. Each bell has its own special sound, so you can imagine what a beautiful chime is able to hear. The most difficult of them, incidentally, weighs more than a ton. The bells were cast in Western Novovolynsk.
