The main Orthodox cathedral in Uzbekistan, a complex of buildings from different years of construction, the temple itself was built in the late 19th century. Several different buildings in size and architecture are assembled in this place on the territory of the cathedral, it turned out to be interesting. The temple and especially the bell tower are quite high, it is spacious inside, in the first part, under the bell tower and a little further it is dark, but in the second, where the altar is quite light due to the upper ring windows under the dome, a pleasant feeling of lightness is created. There are many bells in the bell tower of different sizes and from time to time you can hear them chime. In this temple in the 20s of the twentieth century, a famous religious figure, archbishop, doctor, writer, St. Luke, worked, who did a lot of good and useful things for Russia, a monument and a commemorative plaque with years of work were erected in his honor on the territory of the temple. There are few visitors in the temple on a normal day, mostly friendly and polite servants, and one lady stood near the altar, either a caretaker or a visitor, but very rude and even evil, hatred was read in her eyes, she kept trying to drive us away, something was not according to her.... they reproached her that where was her tolerance and forgiveness for people in such a holy place, she was so freaked out, rudely sent straight.... It is sad that such people can be, especially in such a seemingly holy place....
A very hospitable and open place, beautifully maintained, good energy, everything is clean and tidy!
A modern approach to the dissemination of useful information is a large monitor on the territory, everything is perfectly visible and audible!
There are many icons for all saints inside! There are shops, you can buy everything you need.
Among the disadvantages: they do not accept bank cards for payment, there is no wi-fi connection!

A very beautiful bright place with a large territory. There are a large number of holy relics and miraculous icons inside the cathedral. There is a special atmosphere of comfort in the temple. On the territory of the church there is a monument to St. Luke of Voino-Yasenetsky (Luke of Crimea), who
was Bishop of Tashkent and Turkestan from May 12, 1923 to September 1927.
Solemnly, majestically, calmly and spiritually, caring, attentive and sensitive Clergy. The cathedral has a rich history, after restoration it is impossible to see enough of all this beauty, The services are very solemn and very heartfelt sermons, always relevant
I was very impressed by the temple, it is expensive and rich. And what was more striking was how many people came to the service. There were a lot of christenings. They did it very well. It's nice that temples are treated so well abroad.
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Mother of God, the Tashkent and Uzbekistan Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, is the largest Orthodox temple complex in all of Uzbekistan.
On the territory, in addition to the main church with a six-tiered bell tower, we will see a two-story church of St. Luke, made of sandstone and having unusual architectural forms, there is also a baptismal chapel, a water chapel, a theological seminary, two buildings of diocesan administrations, a church shop, a spiritual center and other buildings of the diocese.
A magnificent and peaceful place where you can gather your thoughts and just sit inside the temple, where there are many parishioners, but at the same time very calm. The most beloved temple in the city.
A peaceful place with magnificent paintings, nice to sit next to on a bench. A large screen on the street, apparently, to broadcast services, probably a lot of people gather on special holidays. There is a theological college nearby, it is also nice to walk around the yard there. Not far from the railway station.
Everything is beautiful in the courtyard, inside the temple. Honey fairs are often held. The temple itself is a historical landmark of the city. There are guided tours, and not only for the Orthodox. There is some kind of secret tunnel in one of the buildings
The most beloved cathedral of Tashkent city!
Clean, quiet and pleasant to be in. The ringing of bells is especially striking. It's like every knock breaks all the troubles!
Beautiful neoclassical architecture. A salted place. There are quite a lot of parishioners (so they are in demand). Convenient location (near the railway station).
The main Christian Cathedral of Tashkent. It is located at the intersection of the main highways of the city. Tourists and believers who arrived at the train station and arrived at the airport can easily visit. It is very decently decorated with marble, the decoration inside is striking in its richness. The ministers are kind and understanding
I definitely recommend to all Orthodox visitors a place to communicate with God. Salted.
The cathedral is beautiful, with a history, many icons and relics of saints. The service is going on as expected. There is one "but" you can confess on weekdays early in the morning from 8 to 9, communion on Sunday at about 10:00. Maybe someone needs it.
There is also a spring where you can collect holy water.
A very beautiful place! I advise all Orthodox Christians in Tashkent to visit! There are a lot of very powerful icons. A bright and beautiful cathedral! There is a separate building where there are taps with holy water. The territory is large, there is a seminary and a building where they baptize. There is a building where children's choir classes are held. Different kinds of honey are often sold on the main square.
Here people meet with the Lord Jesus Christ, his Most Pure Mother Mary and all the Angels and Saints and ask them for forgiveness of sins and salvation.
A good attraction of the city. I haven't been inside myself (Muslim), but the building is quite beautiful, especially the domes. The bells are rung at a certain hour. There is a fountain in front of the cathedral, pigeons often gather (so for the record)
It is large and beautiful, the extension was restored and made not so long ago, a large font was put for holy water and in three places you can buy candles and write notes at the entrance, as well as buy hot bread and bran Bateau with delicious buns!
A very beautiful cathedral, in which many relics are kept, there are several church shops. The territory is also very beautiful and well maintained. The cathedral turned 150 years old last year, which we learned from a very nice man who told us all about the cathedral in a nice way
Russian Orthodox church. Very beautiful outside and inside. There are many buildings of the diocese on the territory. There are many buildings under construction - the future museum and department.
I often visit this cathedral, almost every week, a convenient stop, next to the Temple,but the pedestrian crossing is a little not thought out-when you get to half, the red light turns on for pedestrians,you have to run-it's not convenient for everyone, so it's worth thinking about this moment, and so,everything is very convenient, inside is also very beautiful,the atmosphere is warm, it's nice to be there))
A place where you feel at home. Calm and sincere. Vladyka Vikenty does everything for his parishioners! A large courtyard, very well maintained territory. Lots of flowers and greenery!🙏🙏🙏❤️
Excellent location in the city. The magnificent cathedral, after renovation, is very bright! A huge number of icons and everyone will find their own in this temple, a spacious courtyard and many flowers, a honey fair is constantly operating ,
Nice clean and well maintained cathedral. It's nice to spend time there. The only thing that offends the pro-Orthodox is when there is some kind of holiday, more than 50% come to the house of God drunk, smoke on the territory of the church and swear. Because of such comrades, other people's attitude towards religion also changes. Take the example of masulman, where everyone comes as one family and behaves appropriately
An excellent temple, very beautiful. And what an incomparable concoction!!!! There is a spring with holy water, you can buy an empty bottle and dial. The employees are very friendly and help in everything. The architecture and decoration differs from the usual Orthodox church.
The Center of Orthodoxy in Tashkent. A large church, functioning, in good condition. Many parishioners, services, congregation, honey and church pastries are available
Very beautiful architecture, well-groomed territory, kind attitude of the clergy, kind people, responsive and friendly, this place has its own energy and atmosphere
A magnificent temple. Clean, polite people. We went to the service. Defended. We bought personalized spoons. The impressions are good and the soul is pleased with what it has heard and seen
The understanding of "Baptism" has acquired a pagan character here. You cannot baptize until both mothers have completed a month-long training in the knowledge of the gospel. Which Bible does it say that in? Everyone was baptized in the Jordan River without knowledge, knowledge came later with faith and prayers. I arrived for 3 days, they wanted to baptize my sister's children. We received a refusal in the Temple. There are already few pro-Orthodox people in a Muslim country, and they have also come up with problems, according to which no one wants to be baptized. In the church, adults are scolded like children. The cathedral is beautiful. There are many icons. There is no friendliness, mercy, understanding, or compassion. And if the parents are drinkers, then they don't baptize the children at all? There is no such disorder in Russia. When I came to be baptized at the age of 33, my father said that you had been walking without faith for so long and immediately baptized. Then she learned prayers and rituals and helped her children. But it didn't work out here in Tashkent. My friends said it's been such a mess here for a long time, that's why they don't go.
It is necessary to correct the situation. Otherwise, you will remain without believers and without donations. How will you support the parish?
One of the best temples in Central Asia! A prayer church, a lot of Holy relics and ancient icons! I highly recommend visiting this beautiful God-given and consecrated temple of God!
When I feel bad, I always go to this cathedral, I pray, I put candles for the repose of my parents and it seems like the pain lets go for a while, there is an atmosphere of calm, peace, all the employees there walk with blissful smiles, so peaceful, it calms. I am especially happy when I get under the ringing of bells, they give me goosebumps, I don't know, you can't describe it in any words, everyone needs to feel this...
A beautiful cathedral, a very cozy atmosphere, cats walk around the territory, a flock of pigeons always walks around the gate, which you can feed with your hands. There are many icons of saints in the temple, as well as their relics.
A great, beautiful temple. Beautiful, restored icons. The relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

I really liked the cathedral. It's huge. Light. Bright. A large number of icons with relics. There is a small bell tower where you can practice. I was lucky, there were bell ringers. And I got a lesson on playing the bells)).
Cathedral of the Assumption of the Mother of God. A huge temple, a lot of people at services. Tourists also often come from other countries. There is no place on holidays, everything is crowded with people
A beautiful holy place. This already needs no comment.
I recommend that all Orthodox people visit and visit to communicate with God.
You can collect holy water on the territory.
Visit the coffee "meeting with the priest", delicious and cheap.
A very beautiful church, you can collect holy water. There is no sacrifice for the notes written anywhere, therefore, I will tell you: as of March 2023, the sacrifice for one note is 7000 soums. Also, be prepared to have smaller bills with you, because no one will give you change - they do not take money in their hands behind the candle box, they ask you to put it in the donation box, so either have the right amount with you, or go look for and change yourself. Well, or just put more, if possible).
It's beautiful inside, but it's forbidden to take pictures. On March 18, a monument to St. Luke was unveiled (we were two days before, the monument was covered).
