Catedral Ortodoxa Rusa de la Resurreccion

Catedral Ortodoxa Rusa de la Resurreccion, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Cathedral of the Resurrection stands on Núñez Street, built into the street's continuous building line. It is faced in white stone and carries three blue onion domes crowned with golden crosses. Inside are a two-tier iconostasis and a group of icons set in carved wooden frames.

The parish of the Resurrection of Christ was founded for Russian-speaking believers after 1948, when Archpriest Konstantin Izraztsov and the Holy Trinity Church passed to the North American Metropolis. Bishop Athanasius (Martos), appointed to the Buenos Aires diocese in late 1955, announced the cathedral project on 6 May 1956 and consecrated the site on Núñez Street in October 1957. Engineer N. V. Baumgarten drew up the final plans, the first service was held at Easter 1958, and the cathedral was consecrated on 16 July 1960.

The cathedral serves as a spiritual center for the Russian Orthodox community in Buenos Aires, where worshippers gather to maintain their Byzantine liturgical traditions and religious practices. Visitors can witness how this place preserves a connection to Orthodox faith and cultural heritage among families far from their ancestral homeland.

Access to the interior is through the left-side entrance of the building's facade, which opens directly into the main worship area. Visitors should plan their visit during appropriate times and dress respectfully, as this remains an active place of worship.

Archbishop Athanasius (Martos) mixed mortar and laid bricks himself for four years, and the names of donors and volunteer workers are recorded on a tablet inside the cathedral. The reinforced-concrete structure was donated free of charge by a Mr. Leontiev, while antiquarian Pavla N. Königsberg gave large sums and furnishings for the sacristy.
