Kazan and the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood: Two beautiful churches in St. Petersburg.

When the morning light in the north shines on the gorgeous buildings on the roadside, we come to the Kazan Cathedral on Nevsky Avenue. The status of this church is very high because it enshrines the Kazan Madonna. It is said that the Kazan Madonna has appeared many times and saved Russia at critical moments. The exterior of the church imitates the Roman architectural style. The 94 columns are magnificent. The patterns on the columns and the sculptures on the top are very exquisite. Under the gate pillar similar to the Arc de Triomphe, the water on the ground reflects the blue sky and the buildings across the street. Across the street is an ancient bookstore with a history of hundreds of years, and the small river next to the bookstore reminds me of Russian landscape oil paintings. Not far away is the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, which belongs to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. It is one of the few traditional Orthodox churches in St. Petersburg. The outline is beautiful, the decoration is colorful, and it is particularly eye-catching. Unfortunately, when we went, the church was being renovated, but the surrounding canal scenery was charming.
