about my town Skadovsk

I wrote about my town Skadovsk in my main blog: http://puteshestvieksebe.blogspot.com/

One of our trips through big Sochi was devoted to the Olympic venues. Who said that the Orthodox Church is not an Olympic venue? About 40 minutes ' drive from the centre of Sochi, and we are at the entrance of the Olympic Park near the Temple Of Image of Christ the Savior In this place during the excavations in 2010 were found the ruins of the ancient Byzantine Cathedral of the IX century. It is implied that here. before the Foundation of Kiev Rus the Christian martyrs were buried. The stone taken from the ruins, was laid in the Foundation of the new building on August 29, 2012, Construction continued until the beginning of 2014, on the feast of the Nativity the Church hosted parishioners, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, and on 2 February it was consecrated in the presence of the Olympic teams from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. Inside the temple is decorated with frescoes in style of Vasily Vasnetsov, a famous Russian painter We visited it too. listening to the story ofour guide Vlad.

For my friends who ask me to write in English. I visited one more magical place - the city of Sochi. Life sparkles with new colors.)
