St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral

St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, Russian Orthodox cathedral in Liberdade district, São Paulo, Brazil

The cathedral features traditional Russian Pskov architectural style with onion-shaped domes, wooden carved iconostasis, and detailed religious artwork throughout the interior.

The cathedral, consecrated in 1939, emerged from the efforts of Russian immigrants who arrived in São Paulo during the 1920s, fleeing the 1917 Revolution.

Services at the cathedral are conducted in both Russian and Portuguese languages, maintaining connections between Brazilian and Russian Orthodox traditions.

The cathedral grounds include a parish house, an ossuary beneath the church, and a large garden that hosts regular community fairs and celebrations.

The cathedral houses icons donated by Archpriest Konstantin Izraztsov and contains a wooden iconostasis crafted by master craftsman M.T. Pugachov from Pskov.
