Holy Trinity Council

Holy Trinity Cathedral in Saratov is the Orthodox cathedral of the city. The first construction dates from the period 1674-1675, after which the cathedral was restored several times after fires. Its full name is the Cathedral in the name of the Life-giving Trinity. The cathedral is recognized as a unique monument for the Saratov region, created in the style of Moscow Baroque. This ship-type building is semicircular and with an altar apse.

The main part of the temple is called "Eights on Four". Eight Americans seem to be directed to the sky and pulls a static four. The beauty and plasticity of the building increases with height.

A new era in the history of the cathedral opened in the summer of 2003, when a new bishop of the Saratov diocese, Longin, was appointed. He drew serious attention to the deplorable state of parish churches, which have not been restored for decades. In 2004, the global repair and restoration of Holy Trinity Cathedral began.

Today, on the territory of Holy Trinity Cathedral, the construction of a new building is completed, which will house a Sunday school, administrative and economic services and an educational center.
