Thank you, Ksenia, a useful question. The Ark is now in the Znamensky Cathedral in Kemerovo; I went there myself a couple of times after the flight. You can pray at the relics right in the lower aisle.
Thank you for clarifying about the Znamensky Cathedral. I just went to Kemerovo the other day to visit my sister, and I could have stopped by the lower aisle. And what kind of relics are in the ark, what saint?
Thank you, Galina, for the question. In the ark, it seems, there is a piece of the relics of the holy Prince Constantine of Yaroslavl, I read in the description. And the lower aisle in the Znamensky Cathedral is really cozy, I would also go there if I was in Kemerovo.
Thank you for clarifying about the relics of Prince Konstantin Yaroslavsky. In Yaroslavl he is especially revered; there is even a church in his honor. Somehow I’ll get out to Kemerovo after my shift and stop by the lower aisle of Znamensky.
The Ark is now in the Znamensky Cathedral in Kemerovo, in the central place near the icon. I went there last week, there were a lot of people, but it was calm. What regions are you coming from?
Thank you, Vasily, it’s good that you clarified about Znamensky. We are from Novosibirsk and would like to go on the weekend if the queues are not very long. Approximately how long do people spend there?
Thank you, Dmitry. I was just going to Kemerovo this weekend, now I’ll definitely stop by Znamensky. Is the lower aisle always open or only at certain hours?
Thank you, Olga, for writing from Novosibirsk. Usually people spend 40–50 minutes on Znamensky, if there is no long queue. Will you go by car or by train?
