Ascension Cathedral in Tver

The Ascension Cathedral stands with a massive square structure, central drum, and semicircular dome, painted in ocher with white decorative elements throughout the exterior.

Construction of the stone church began in 1751, following the destruction of two wooden predecessors during the early seventeenth century and the Russo-Polish war.

The cathedral maintains an orthodox youth club named Irini, offering Sunday school classes, fine arts education, and various recreational activities for children.

Religious services take place regularly under the guidance of Metropolitan Savva of Tver and Kashinsky, with special processions occurring throughout the year.

The cathedral houses two significant relics: the remains of Saint Thaddeus and a reproduction of the Mother of God Fat Mountain icon.
