The Savior-on-the-Blood Cathedral, St. Petersburg, Russia


Postcard IDRU-1172146
Country: Russia

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. It is also variously called the Church on Spilt Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, its official name.

This Church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated and was dedicated in his memory. It should not be confused with the Church on Blood in Honour of All Saints Resplendent in the Russian Land, located in the city of Yekaterinburg where the former Emperor Nicholas II (1868–1918) and several members of his family and household were executed following the Bolshevik Revolution.

Also this postcard contains 3 beautiful stamps from different series: Gifts of nature (2003), Kremlins (2009) and Decorative Art - Laze (2011):
