Khristorozhdestvenskiy Kafedral'nyy Sobor

The Cathedral of the Ryazan Kremlin (formerly the Assumption Cathedral) is the Orthodox Cathedral of the city of Ryazan. Along with the Assumption Cathedral - one of the two main temples of the Ryazan metropolis. It is the first stone building on the territory of the Ryazan Kremlin, and one of the oldest surviving buildings in the Ryazan region. It was laid at the end of the XIV century by the Grand Duke Oleg Ryazansky in the territory of his court and consecrated as the Assumption Cathedral. With the transfer of the bishop's department from Borisov-Glebov to the Kremlin in 1522, the cathedral became cathedral. After the construction of the new building of the Assumption Cathedral, it was consecrated as Christ's Nativity.

A wonderful monument of architecture and history.

... The Nativity of Christ Cathedral of the Ryazan Kremlin (until the 18th century - the Assumption) - the earliest stone construction of the Kremlin - a monument of ancient Russian architecture of the early 15th century. The antiquity of the cathedral is evidenced by the white-stone masonry of the basement, characteristic of the 15th century temples. Initially, the cathedral served as a citywide temple and was the burial vault of Ryazan princes and princesses, including Ryazan princess Anna, the sister of Ivan III, and the daughter of Dmitry Donskoy, Sophia. At the beginning of the 17th century, the relics of Bishop St. Basil of Ryazan were transferred to the cathedral. In connection with the construction of a new cathedral of the Assumption Cathedral, the old church was renamed into Nativity of Christ ...
