Blessed is Metropolitan Kirill who served in that special place underground. How many times have I heard about the Kazan Cave, but I have never seen it myself. Does anyone know if the old relics are still kept there?

Татьяна Лебедева

Yes, there are still relics there, mostly the relics of saints, which are stored in special arks. The cave itself is very cramped, low, when you stand in the service, you can directly feel the earth above your head. Metropolitan Kirill often goes down there, it’s good that this place is not forgotten.
