Temple in Dranda village

The Drand Cathedral is one of the first cathedrals erected on the territory of Abkhazia. Located near the city of Sukhum. The temple is actively working to this day: services are held, on certain days the rite of baptism is performed.

There is a huge icon shop that allows you to order some service or just buy literature, etc.

Inside the temple looks unusual, reminiscent of the oldest buildings. On the walls still preserved frescoes that appeared in the year of discovery (Byzantium). There are few icons in the temple, but there is the main treasure and decoration - this is the myrrhic face of the martyr Dimitri of Thessaloniki, healing from diseases. Many Orthodox Christians come to pray to him from all over the world.
