Church of All Saints, Yekaterinburg

The Cathedral on the Spilled Blood (Russian Храм на Крови, and occasionally in German referred to as the Holy Blood Cathedral, Blood Church or Church of All Saints ) is a Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Yekaterinburg. It was built between 2002 and 2003 at the point where the last Tsar's family was murdered in 1918 in the aftermath of the October Revolution.

History

Importance

The cathedral is a place of pilgrimage, especially for Russian supporters of the monarchy from the entire country. The Tsar's family was first canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, then of the Russian Orthodox Church. In addition, she is already a few years after the establishment of a major tourist attraction, especially for travelers on the Trans -Siberian Railway. It is embedded in a whole flanking building complex containing another church and a museum about the last Tsar's family.
