Holy Myrrhbearers Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Holy Myrrhbearers Cathedral is a brick structure in Russian Revival style located in Baku. Inside, a bell tower rises above the sanctuary, and visitors find a stone iconostasis decorated with wall paintings throughout the interior spaces.
The Ministry of War of the Russian Empire funded the cathedral in 1909 for the 206th Saliyan Infantry Regiment stationed in the city. This construction reflected the Russian military presence in the region during that era.
The cathedral's name refers to the women in Orthodox Christian tradition who came to anoint Jesus. Visitors can still see the religious decorations and paintings inside that reflect this Christian story.
The cathedral serves as the center of the Baku diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, with regular services held for worshippers. Visitors should be respectful of ongoing religious activities and dress modestly when entering.
The cathedral holds relics of Saint Bartholomew and houses two notable icons dedicated to the Mother of God of Tikhvin and the Mother of God of Caspian. These religious objects draw pilgrims who seek a connection to these particular forms of devotion.
