The cathedral is beautiful, located in the center of Minsk, of the advantages, services are held every day, there is an icon of the Mother of God and you can worship Valentina Minskaya. The temple is small, on Sundays and holidays there is a very large crowd of people, it is extremely difficult to approach and venerate the icons. And the main disadvantage of this cathedral is the grandmothers. These are not grandmothers, these are witches, it feels like in this cathedral the reins of government are given to grandmothers and not benevolent from the series, they themselves do not go to heaven and do not give others. It's terrible, grandmothers have an inflated opinion of themselves, it feels like you're not going to God, but to their home, I haven't seen so much anger yet, there was a holiday, there were a lot of people, I decided to take a couple of photos, I didn't know that you can't take pictures there, I started taking pictures, so this grandmother is a witch she started hitting me on the hands and shouting "you can't, you can't", by the way, I managed to take a couple of photos as a souvenir. But the sediment remained very strong, I take everything close to my heart, she shamed me in front of other people, everyone began to look at me, what was I doing there that grandma already began to pull on my hand, it's terrible, you can't take pictures well, come say with love "don't take pictures", why do this with such aggression, where the priests look, I know the priests who stop such grandmothers, but it's not in this cathedral. Dear priests, have a conversation with your grandmothers or you don't seem to care. In general, there is no spirituality as such in Minsk, everyone is fixated on money, on the greatness of temples, priests are ready to communicate with wealthy parishioners, unfortunately, this is exactly the feeling.
