Preparations for the patronal feast have begun at the Holy Assumption Cathedraltranslated

On August 28, 2026, the Church honors the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On this day, the Assumption Cathedral of the Trifonov Monastery in the city of Kirov celebrates its patronal holiday. On the eve of the patronal feast, order is being restored in the church. For the Feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, it is necessary to paint the window slopes and wash the nine windows of the church. Moreover, the topmost windows are located at a height of 12-15 meters! Well-known ringers in the city, also climbers, Mikhail and Vladimir Stromov, cope with this difficult task. – The peculiarity is that the windows located at the height are located in a niche, so it’s not so easy to reach them. Therefore, the work is carried out using scaffolding and ladders. The windows don’t just need to be washed, but the working point needs to be reached in a niche, so we build additional bridges and booms. Additionally, we provide insurance where the drum is located; for this we use various technological loops. We hope to have the work completed in time for the holiday,” the Stromov brothers said.
