Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ is an Eastern Orthodox church building made of brick and situated within the fortified walls of the Volokolamsk Kremlin. The structure features the characteristic red brick exterior typical of Orthodox religious architecture from this period.

The cathedral was established by Boris Vasilyevich of Volotsk as part of the expansion of Orthodox Christianity in the Moscow region during medieval times. The building rose during a period when the region was shaped by the consolidation of power among Moscow princes.

The cathedral serves as a spiritual gathering place for the community and continues to shape the religious life of the city today. People come here for worship according to the Orthodox calendar and use the space for daily prayer and religious observance.

The cathedral is accessible through the main entrance of the Volokolamsk Kremlin complex and open to visitors during the site's visiting hours. Wear respectful clothing and remember this is an active place of worship with religious customs that should be observed.

The interior walls display religious frescoes and iconography that show the artistic techniques of Russian Orthodox church decoration. These painted surfaces offer a glimpse into the elaborate artistic design of sacred spaces from this era.
