Heads of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Armenian Apostolic
Church, Patriarch Kirill and Catholicos Garegin II, have participated
in laying the foundation of a new Russian Orthodox cathedral in
Yerevan. The construction of the Church of the Exaltation of the
Honorable and Life-Giving Cross at the man-made Yerevan Lake is to be
completed within two years. According to ITAR-TASS, the cathedral will
have five domes and a bell tower, and designed by Moscow architect
Yelena Gurova. The future church and an Armenian one currently under
construction in Moscow symbolize the yearlong friendship of the two
nations and open up new opportunities for further cooperation, the
Catholicos of all Armenians said.
