St. Andrew's Cathedral

St. Andrew’s Cathedral has been functioning for more than a hundred years and is one of the most basic temples of the entire Stavropol Territory. It is quite a large cathedral and very beautiful inside and out. The cathedral was built in 1897. But it was closed in 1930. However, twelve years later, in 1942 it was returned to the Stavropol Orthodox residents. In 1990, the bell tower of the temple was successfully restored.

St. Andrew Cathedral is very popular among the Stavropol Orthodox residents and has its own traditions. For example, every year on the day of Andrew the First-Called St. Andrew Cathedral celebrates its birthday. On this holiday usually every year there are permanent congregational parishioners, visitors from other temples, as well as lay people from all over the Diocese. On such holidays, you can see parishioners of various ages - both children and elderly people.

During this holiday, according to tradition, the solemn service is usually headed by Archbishop Theophan. The parishioners pray and put candles. To visit this cathedral is simply necessary when visiting Stavropol, as it is one of the most important historical sights of the city.
