Marian devotion
Catedral de Königsberg y la Virgen
Kaliningrad, Russia
The Gothic cathedral of Königsberg, now the centre of Orthodox in the Russian Baltic.
The Cathedral of Königsberg was built in the 14th century as a Catholic and then Lutheran church. After World War II, when the city became Russian, the cathedral was restored and today functions as an Orthodox church.
The Virgin in the Russian Baltic
The cathedral venerates Marian icons brought by Russian settlers who arrived in Kaliningrad after 1945. The icon of the Virgin of Kazan is particularly venerated by the Orthodox community of the city.
The diocese of Kaliningrad
The Orthodox diocese of Kaliningrad was established in 2009. It is the most western diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church and has the mission of maintaining the Orthodox faith in a historically Lutheran region.
