Under the omophorion of the Most Holy Mistress

In 2010, 150 years of the Rostov Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary marks. The temple is majestically and peacefully towers over the bustle of the modern city.
We come to the temple as in the House of God, according to the word of the Lord: Come to me all those who are more worried and burdened .. (Matt. 11, 28) to contact the Mr. This house with his prayers and petitions: " And I, by the many grace of your, enter your house, worship the holy temple in your fear of your "(Ps. 5,8).
St. Philaret Moscow said that he did not create a man and devotes the temple to God and God himself gives his temple to man. The birth of the temple is the birth of a shrine, coming to which people touch God, to the Church of Heaven through the sacraments and rites of the Church of the Earth. Therefore, the consecration of the place under the temple occurs in commemoration that at this place is not just the construction of the building, but the arrangement of the House of God.
The temple can be a masterpiece of architecture or an imperious modern building, a monumental cathedral with a bishop department or a modest rural church. For a believer heart is not important. Any temple is sprayed and full of life. We come to it in order to become partakers of the Divine Grace in the sacraments of the Church, to live in Christ and become the heirs of the kingdom of heaven, which, according to the word of the apostle, "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Rome 14, 17)
