The cathedral is located in the center of Minsk. Conveniently located, right on Nemiga. Very ancient architecture. At the same time, it gives the impression of a warm temple, where they are trying to preserve the building and the prayerful spirit of centuries-old traditions. The male choir, which sometimes sings on Saturday evening, makes an indelible impression at the service. The sound is cheerful, fresh, very inspiring and tuning! Deacons have strong voices, they pronounce everything clearly and distinctly. The sound in the temple — you can hear every word! It has become much better compared to what it was before. Good candlemakers, no one pokes at the handkerchiefs... It's nice to come in and ask God for help, to thank him for what is sometimes so difficult to accept
The oldest church in the city. The cathedral was built from 1612 to 1620 in the Baroque style. The cathedral looks like a Catholic cathedral, but it has always been an Orthodox church, although it was significantly rebuilt. Of course, with a rich history. Previously, it was surrounded by a large Peter and Paul Monastery, which was even visited by Metropolitan Peter Grave of Kiev, Galicia and All Russia. An extremely interesting place. During the Soviet years, the cathedral was closed. In December 1941, it was opened, but in 1944 it was closed again and rebuilt for residential premises, then for an archive. From 1972 to 1978, the cathedral was restored in order to recreate its original appearance. It was opened in 1991. The most beautiful view of the cathedral is from the pedestrian bridge across Nemiga Street.
A pleasant atmosphere inside the temple, many icons of ancient writing. The painting has not been restored yet. It is clear that the temple suffered during the persecution of the church. But people are trying to rebuild. The miraculous icon is an Inexhaustible Chalice. A wonderful priest in confession. There is a very pretentious woman on the candle box. It is intended to be a place for prayer. During the Liturgy, the general conciliar singing (parishioners sing). This greatly interferes with prayer. It's a well-known fact that when you sing, you never pray. Otherwise, everything is fine.
A beautiful, ancient Orthodox church in honor of the ap. Peter and Paul. It is very cozy and warm inside. There is a friendly woman in the candle shop, you can clarify what is not clear. There is a bookstore in the courtyard.
My beloved, beautiful temple in Minsk. Catherine's :) Murals are being actively restored. One of the oldest buildings in the city. There is a particularly revered shrine in the temple - the icon of the Mother of God of Valaam.
I always went to this church and even got married there. But today I was unpleasantly shocked. I did not have time to put a candle to the icon - a worker came up and extinguished, took out all the thin candles, although they were only lit at all. I left the more expensive ones. And so it is under all the icons. What is it and what is it called? Why then sell thin candles if they are immediately taken out and thrown away???????? The sediment is unpleasant-that's not to say anything…… I'll tell everyone I know about it and post posts. It is unlikely that I will return there, and for those who walk, keep your candle in your hands while it is burning, otherwise it will be quickly thrown out, unless of course you bought a thick and large one. Shame on you!!!!!!!!
Be vigilant when visiting. People with mental disabilities are allowed on the territory and in all buildings of the cathedral. So, an aggressive alcoholic followed me from the library at the cathedral. He continued to threaten even after she said that she would call the police, but at least he stopped following her. The employee in charge of video surveillance in the cathedral sent to clarify the issue to the guard inside the cathedral. The latter turned out to be the same toothless alcoholic with a red face. No responsibility whatsoever. It's a shame for a temple with a 4-century history.
I love going to church. Inspiring. Psychologically, it helps to be Kinder. Thanks to Vladimir Krasno, the Sun, for giving us the Greek Faith, i.e. Orthodoxy, by exterminating those who offered blood sacrifices through the Heroes of the word God. The temple is very beautiful inside.
It is very nice here during worship. But at other times, in this temple, apparently, the staff practice loud conversations out loud. The remark did not work. Very sorry.

A very beautiful temple, unique icons and an unforgettable atmosphere. Calmly and mentally
The most beloved and dear to the heart Temple! Everything in it is wonderful: the clergy, led by the wise and just Father Superior, and the godly services, and the attitude of the parishioners to each other, and the singing of the choir! I always rest my soul there, I feel peace and peace of mind!
I love this cathedral!!!! All my life I've been going there and my daughter was baptized there!!!! tell me what kind of icon was brought today with the relics of which Mother of God????
The most spiritual cathedral in Minsk. Good fathers, the choir sings very beautifully. There are no angry grandmothers who can quarrel because girls come in trousers. Quietly, calmly, prayerfully.
One of my favorites, it is very soulful in it, there is a special atmosphere here, as if alone with God. People are more friendly than in the cathedral. People with health problems can sit on benches along the walls. This temple has its own soul, if I may say so.
The oldest building in Minsk, with valuable murals inside. It has its own fenced territory, there is a library and a church store, there is an excellent selection of books. If you have any questions, you can always contact someone from the father, they are attentive and kind-hearted.
An ancient , typically Belarusian architecture temple . In excellent condition. It is a pity that the developers did not spare him, surrounding him with tasteless multi-storey housing
The temple is good, but one of the priests almost directly "sent" me, I do not know what this priest's name is, but he was the priest on duty that day when I came and I could talk to him, he answered my question very coldly and began to blame me for everything, also laughed, I wanted to I would like to take the problems of parishioners more seriously
Nice cathedral) went there to baptize the guy)the proteans turned out to be very good, kind and attentive) they are always ready to help) there is always a priest on duty
I liked the temple... Interestingly, the service (Liturgy) is conducted with the faithful in mind, they also take part in it themselves, singing hymns like a choir..
