Church of the Three Hierarchs

The Cathedral of the Three Hierarchs is considered the main Orthodox temple of Mogilev and also belongs to the architectural monuments of the early XX century. It is named after three hierarchs: John Chrysostom, Basil the Great and Gregory the Theologian. It is interesting that you can enter the temple from three sides.

The temple is built in the shape of a cross, crowned by seven domes. The building is built in a pseudo-Russian style, although it is not without elegance. The cathedral was built for 11 years, starting from 1903. It is known that during the First World War the temple was often visited by the Russian Tsar Nicholas II.

In the early 60s of the XX century, when the persecution of religion began, the temple was beheaded - the domes, bell tower and crosses were demolished - and given to the club of a local factory. It was not until 1989 that it became a parish again.

The pride of the cathedral is a list of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Mogilev-Bratskaya”. Also here are the icon of St. Nicholas with particles of relics, the venerable lists of the icon of the Mother of God "Belynichskaya" and the icon of the Mother of God "Barkolabovskaya", as well as the image of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk, written in 1910 for the event of transfer and meeting in Mogilev of the holy relics of the Monk transferred from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra to Polotsk.
