Top Ukraine Attractions : St Peter and St Paul's Cathedral

This is the main entrance to our St.Peter and St.Paul Cathedral built in the middle of the 19th century, the only Orthodox cathedral that survived the frantic atheist campaign of the thirties when all the temples were blown up by the Communist authorities who presented that militant atheist campagne as "the will of the citizens". St.Peter and St.Paul Cathedral is located in Stone Ford District , the oldest district in the city. The cathedral survived the ruthless Communist era due to the fact that in the thirties it was turned into a cinema and a dance club. All the mural icons were painted over and the altar architecture was turned into an empty wall with a screen. Now the cathedral has a restored belfry that appeared ten years ago and had been built according to the old pictures of the cathedral and a restored dome. This is the place where our Luhansk Icon of the Most Holy Virgin is kept. The icon is located to the left of the altar.
