Exploring Orthodox Christian Features of Red Square with  

i really think it would shock most english speaking people to know that saint basil's is 462 years old. i remember reading about it not that long ago and knowing that it's very old and still being kind of dumbfounded when i just looked up again exactly how old it is. it's immaculate.

Очень приятно, что Вы приезжаете в нашу страну и интересуетесь нашей верой, историей и культурой.

so much history and meaningful stuff compacted into a small center

There was not a single execution at the place of execution. This is a myth. The decrees of the kings were read out there and nothing more.

You should visit the churches inside the Kremlin. Lots of history there.

So, one thing that persistent throughout the ages is a rumor about the architect being blinded, but he wasn't, there is actually another church further north he built later. But well, people love such rumors

That read beautiful building is Historical museum actually.

0:40 The word “red” can mean not only color and not only “beautiful”. In texts, the first line of a paragraph is called red (“start with the red line”). Also in texts, when some thought or idea is expressed many times, they say about it that it runs through the text like a red thread. “Red Porch” is the main, front, royal entrance to the building. In homes, the "red corner" is the corner of the room opposite the front door, in which icons were placed. Honored guests were seated there, under the icons, during feasts. That is, in this context, “red” is “honorable.” This point, I believe, is especially important on this channel.

St. Basil's Cathedral, officially the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, on the Moat (also Pokrovsky Cathedral, Cathedral of the Intercession on the Moat) is an Orthodox church on Red Square in Moscow, a monument of Russian architecture. Built in 1555-1561

I like the comment expat American made about the things you were seeing being real and not simulacrum, the fakeness that is normal in the states 👍👍

I switched to your Nikolai friend's channel. Ancient architecture of the buildings is amazing also colourful, with old relics . The orthodox church reveals the presence of Russian religion .Thanks for sharing.

Ооо дааа❤❤❤.. Православие 🙏🙏🙏

Magnificent!❤

6:24. On a top - St Alexander Nevsky. Very important person not only for Orthodox, but and for whole Russian culture. He was like a Putin want to be. Crack the west, will be friends on the East.

Wooooow!

I must admin I've never once seen a single picture or video from inside of St. Basil's. Most of the churches in Russia are absolutely free for filming

Спасибо за такое прекрасное видео ❤️

Удивительная архитектура. Внимание к деталям потрясает.

Второй раз смотрю ваш канал и отмечаю, что ваш друг Николай похож на Санта-Клауса.

What a fancy cameraman you have here 😂

Желаю развития твоему каналу👍

Класс, молодцы ребята

Добро пожаловать в Россию друг )

Actual architectural idea of the St. Basil were to build a Heaven City of Jerusalem, mimicing various houses and towers around King Solomon's Temple (in the medieval times they think ots vere like a tent (Шкина или Скиния), not rectangle like archeological evidence showed now). So even at Rafael painting it will be round. So, St. Basil would used as 'decoration' during very popular back in 16 and 17th centuries celebration - a week before Easter - Entering of Christ to Jerusalem in the age of seven. So, Russian Tsar would show Josef and Patriarch a young christ sitting on the horse (a donkey in the Bible). We don't have palm trees there (except for Botanical Garden), so instead of palm tree leaf people carry the first spring blossoming tree верба. Most of cathedral decoration (actually it were 9 churches, and St. Basil part and one another added later) designed to show eternal beauty of Jerusalem. P.S. In XVII century too patriarch Nikon founded another beautiful place - The New Jerusalem, notth-west of Moscow, mimicking a Holy Sepulchre temple and its worrth visiting too.

6:22 above Alexander Nevsky (Александр Невский) 1221 - 1263 below Jonah of Moscow (Иона, Митрополит Московский) 1448-1461 hello from Krasnoyarsk.

joe rose take us here and we gonna stay

I think I've seen you somewhere, by any chance not in Dan's Wild Siberia chat?)) Welcome to Russia and have a good rest here!))

Please do go to the extraordinary ARMED FORCES CATHEDRAL THE RESURRECTION OF JESUSCHRIST!! Amazing specially the Resurrection Icon, it blew my mind, mind you I'm a Catholic and it describes perfectly the energy that marked the Holy Shroud

I think one guy got naked and nailed his balls to the red square as a protest which i found absolutely ridiculous. Just about only in Russia. Not sure what he was protesting about.

8:20. Pure amazing.

Some famous parts of Moscow Kremlin resemble Sforza Castle in Milan. Both structures have the same Italian architects. And St.Basils Cathedral was allegedly inspired by the mosque of Kazan, burnt during the conquest of Khanate of Kazan.

played a lot of tetris growing up and didnt notice the red square part.. I need to pay more attention... what a catch

4:04 Spasskaya Tower. Spas, spasitel is a name of Christ in Orthodox.

How did I get on this channel?

Thanks for the video. It's a pity that it's so short. Would you like to visit the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, as well as the Main Temple of the Armed Forces?

What a great opportunity to see the amazing architecture in person. I have a very very difficult time hearing you. You speak too softly. I had to turn the volume all the way up and still had a hard time hearing.

Православная Церковь - это не просто красота. Это Та Самая Церковь Христа! Истинная и Единственная. Святая Соборная Апостольская. Это сокровище планеты, за которое идет борьба между добром и злом. Таинственная Дверь в Царствие Небесное, скрытая от невежественных , пренебрежительных глаз. Врата ада не одолеют Ее. ❤

Вы Православнвй? Слава Богу. 🙏 Каждый истинно верующий православный человек дорог для нас. Дело в том, что долго у нас уничтожалась вера, и сейчас к сожалению, многие крещеные люди не знают Евангелие, не знают своей веры, своих святых... А ведь русский код - это Евангельский код.

IDK why all named this Cathedral - St.Basil) This is Cathedral of St.Mary Pokrov (hard to translate. something like a cover-shelter).

5:20 when i see this i remember the fate of the architect. The king asked, "Can you build a curch even more beautiful than this one?" The architect replied that if His Majesty orders, then perhaps he can try. Then the king ordered the architect to be blinded so that no one else would have such beauty. 6:29 it said something i couldnt read(i'm russian, but icons uses old slavic language, or curch slavic as it called ) it said "св б говер"(i have no clue..doesn't sound like anything ) КНАЗЬ (Князь- prince or king) Алезандръ(Александр, Alexander) Невск(Nevsk) i thing the lettering was differert in old slavic language but it deffenetly said the prince Alexander Nevsky(maybe the saint prince alexander nevsky... i'm not that good with old slavic... just as far as it similar to russian)

Oh come on, why deleting my previous comment? Sorry, if it looked like an advertisement, but it wasn't. I do nothing like this for me or the group I am working with. It was really just that case, where I wanted to share with the author of that channel our respect and love to the orthodox chants... However, I hope the author had a look on that channel I am not going to post again. Wasn't an advertisement as I said. Respect

Dostoyevsky said "Beauty of Jesus image will save the world'

Памятник Жукову конечно капец полный .. Или скульптор никогда не видел всадников в реале . 🤐

Это называется " Лобное место" и там действительно казнили - стрельцов, например, бунтовавших. Но это было давно😊

Ok, but you should know it is real Orthodoxy is in Russia still, and its not the all nice well known cathedrals under rule of Russkaya Pravislavnaya Tserkov.

Ask question. If Bolsheviks were so bad why all of that things are exists today? Don't you know that Stalin almost finished church seminary. He was on the last 5th year when he was sent first time to Siberia. You can compare Stalin, Lenin, Dzerzhinsky with Luther in Europe. Devout people who have become disillusioned with their faith.

super be more rorics please
