In the center of Mogilev, in the courtyards of the Stalinok, this pearl of the city was lost.
The history of the church is very interesting and delightful. The church itself is amazing and majestic.
After the Mogilev lands became part of the Russian Empire, in 1783, the church of the Carmelite monastery was renamed in the name of St. Stanislav and became an arch-cathedral. All the churches located on the territory of the empire - from Sakhalin to the newly annexed lands of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth - became part of the Mogilev diocese. Stanislav Bogush-Sestrentsevich, an outstanding Belarusian scientist and writer, was appointed its first archbishop, Metropolitan of the Roman Catholic Church of Russia by decree of Catherine II,
The church is the highlight of Mogilev ; it is located in the courtyards , which is not very natural for such a building with original architecture and interior decoration . The church is painted inside completely with frescoes on a religious theme in warm colors due to this, the volume and mood of the holiday are created . There is also a unique organ with ceramic pipes, its sound can be heard during the service.
As a Catholic myself, any visit to a shrine in another city is an event for me.
It was not difficult to find Mogilev in a small city and from this even more beautiful. Inside the block, he settled down and practically hid himself from the bustling street.
It attracts both inside and out with its simplicity - but then the most important thing, like everything in Catholicism, is one's own thoughts and attitude towards it.
Visit yes!!!!!
But there is a visiting time - I know for sure that after 10 am.
Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Stanislaus. The cathedral is incredibly beautiful, hidden in the courtyard. In order to see it, it is worth coming to Mogilev specifically, especially since the cathedral has the status of a co-cathedral Minsk-Mogilev Archdiocese. Until the 20th century, it was the main Catholic church of the Russian Empire. The Mogilev Archdiocese, previously subordinated to all Catholic parishes of the Latin Rite in Russia (including in Moscow and St. Petersburg). It was built in 1738-1752 in the Baroque style, the magnificent painting of the XVIII century has been almost completely preserved.
From the outside, it's not a particularly remarkable building, but it's worth going inside - the beauty is there.
It was a pity that there was no exact schedule of organ music. And during my visit to the city, the organist fell ill.
A very calm, welcoming, peaceful atmosphere. The services are conducted in the Belarusian language, which is pleasant and captivating. True, the International Festival of Sacred Music "Magutny Bozha" has remained in the past (I hope the time will come and it will return), but even now, from time to time, concert programs composed of works by classical authors are held. Come, relax your soul, take a break from the daily hustle and bustle, everything is there for this.
The most beautiful church, for which we went to Mogilev! It's not always open, but if you watch the time of the masses, you can adjust to get inside. There is a duty schedule when just Grandma is sitting there. We managed to spend a lot of time there, so we saw the murals everywhere and enjoyed this beauty, almost untouched by time.
The church went through 2 wars and has been preserved since the 18th century in its original form. There are few such architectural objects in Belarus. The restored frescoes of the 18th century are also preserved in the church. After the war, it was hidden from street panoramas by the Soviet authorities by building residential buildings. The service is conducted in the Belarusian language.
The largest active Catholic Church in the city. It's very quiet inside. The service is in the Belarusian language, which is very encouraging. The only disadvantage is that it is "squeezed" behind the houses and it is not immediately visible
Everything is great, beautiful, but tourists are treated like enemies, they are not allowed to go further than the threshold, but I would like to take a closer look at everything
A beautiful temple. My wife and I got there by accident - the church is next to the hotel where we stayed. And there was a concert of organ music. There are no words of praise.
This cathedral is simply magnificent! The large building is located in the center of the city, its courtyard is decorated with sculptures and a cross of worship. Last year, a mechanical organ was brought, which is now playing here. Inside the church there are also sculptures, the miraculous Belynichi icon of the Mother of God, unique frescoes of the XVIII century, among which one is historical. Masses are conducted in the Belarusian language, as representatives of the church advocate the preservation of their native language, which is gradually "dying". The life of the parish is very busy, some events take place regularly and church holidays are celebrated. At Christmas, the temple is wonderfully decorated, which creates a wonderful festive atmosphere. Just recently, the recruitment of a women's choir has been announced. If you are a tourist in our wonderful city, then you definitely need to visit this place. If you are a resident of Mogilev, then you also need to visit this wonderful place.
An impressive example of religious architecture. It's beautiful from the outside, and especially! - from the inside, where there is a very beautiful painting on the ceiling and walls.
I didn't like the outbursts of modernist sentiments - paintings with agony in the avant-garde style, some strange commemorative plaques. Therefore, 4.
An exceptionally spiritual and solemn place. It is very conducive to thinking about the eternal and rethinking your life. I recommend visiting such places more often.
