I didn't know they were celebrating the Exaltation of the Cross there on the 26th. Has the new chapel at the podvorye been finished yet? Would love to make the trip up from Portland if the dates ever line up with my vacation.

Yes, September 26 is precisely the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and not the Resurrection of the Word - it seems that there was a mistake in the title. The chapel in the courtyard seems to have been consecrated last year, but the inside is still being completed. If you're traveling from Portland, it's best to call Kazan in advance to check the schedule.

Yes, the title was clearly confused - September 26 is the Exaltation of the Cross, not the Resurrection of the Word. The chapel was consecrated last year, I remember going there just before fishing on the Volga. Galina, what else is being completed inside, the iconostasis or the floors?

Дарья Виноградова

Yes, the title was definitely wrong, September 26th is the Exaltation. And I also saw the chapel last year when I was returning from Yelabuga. Dmitry, do you know if the iconostasis has already been installed or if the floors are just being completed?
