OK, but will they be able to finish the work on time by 2026? Last year I read that there were still problems with the roof of the cathedral in Kazan. Anyway, such a visit by the Patriarch is a big deal for the believers there.

Radu Constantinescu

I don't know exactly how the roof is now, but I hear they brought in new craftsmen this year and are working hard. A visit like that of the Patriarch would really be a great joy for them there, especially after so many years of effort. Have you been to Kazan or just read the news?

Elena Stoica

Yes, I read about those roof problems last year too. I hope they have made serious progress with the new craftsmen, that such a visit from the Patriarch would give a nice boost to the whole work. Where did you find out details about the state of the cathedral?

Larisa Munteanu

Yes, I also read about that roof that got badly damaged last year after the rains. The new craftsmen seem to be doing better, I heard from a friend in Kazan that they have already changed some of the beams. Did you find out anything concrete about the exact date of the visit?

Ilie Stoica

I'm not sure how the roof is now, but it seems to me that if they brought in new craftsmen, by 2026 it should be finished. A visit from the Patriarch would really be a big thing, especially since years of restoration work have been done in Kazan. Have you seen recent pictures from the cathedral or just what you read last year?

Anca Munteanu

No, I haven't seen recent pictures, just what I read last year about the restoration. If they brought in new craftsmen, I really believe that by 2026 the roof will be ready, but I wonder if they will manage the interior painting in time. Have you been in the area recently?

Gabriela Dumitrescu

No, I haven't found out the exact date, only that they are talking about the spring of 2026, after Easter. I'm glad they changed those beams, because last year it looked pathetic after the rains. What do you think, do you think that the Patriarch will reach the Raifa monastery in the same way?

Maria Florea

No, I haven't been there for about two years, but I heard from a friend in Kazan that they brought craftsmen from Moscow for painting and that they are already working on the plaster. Do you think they will keep up with the schedule until the Patriarch's visit? I say yes, but the roof will be the first priority.
