Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia
The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ is a five-domed Orthodox church in Khanty-Mansiysk, its main dome reaching 60 metres, with a separate 62-metre bell tower holding 12 bells cast at Moscow's ZIL factory, the largest weighing 10 tons. Inside are a three-tier iconostasis and three altars: the main Resurrection altar, plus side chapels of Alexander Nevsky and All Siberian Saints.
The site was chosen in 1988, the year of the millennium of the Baptism of Rus, by Bishop Anthony of Tobolsk and Tyumen, and a cross was set up there. The foundation stone was consecrated on 10 December 1999, and construction began. Patriarch Alexy II visited the site on 12 August 2001. The cathedral was consecrated on 24 May 2006, and its great consecration took place seven years later under Patriarch Kirill.
The building serves as the spiritual center for Orthodox believers in the region, especially during major feast days like Easter and Pentecost when crowds gather for services. Regular liturgies shape the rhythm of local religious life and community gatherings.
The church is accessible during daytime hours, with the highest visitor numbers during morning services and religious holidays when ceremonies are conducted. Those wishing to attend a service should check the schedule beforehand and dress appropriately for the occasion.
The cathedral's 62-metre bell tower holds 12 bells, all cast at Moscow's ZIL factory; the largest weighs 10 tonnes and was hoisted into place on 18 July 2003 after a prayer service led by archpriest Nikolai Matviychuk.
