Terem Churches by

To the east of the Terem Palace there are four domestic churches: the Church of St. Catherine, the Verkhospassky Cathedral, the Church of the Crucifixion and the Church in Commemoration of the Resurrection of Christ.

Above the Verkhospassky Cathedral stands the Church of the Crucifixion (1681) with applique icons in its iconostasis. The Church in Commemoration of the Resurrection of Christ was built above the Church of St. Catherine in 1680-1681. It has a carved iconostasis with late 17th-century icons by Pospelov and a church chandelier presented by the Swedish king Carl XI.

About Jon Ayres

I’m an American who has been living in Moscow since 2003. I enjoy discovering and photographing the many new things unheard of in the west in Russia, Ukraine and Crimea. Moscow is my second home and I love it and the people as much as I do back home. Russia is a fantastic country that should not be missed by those who like to travel.
