The Cathedral of Christ the Savior, or the Church of the Nativity of Christ, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church located in Moscow on Volkhonke Street. The existing structure, built in the 1990s, is a recreation of the temple of the same name, destroyed in 1931. The largest Orthodox church in Russia. The temple is located on an elevation, surrounded by a small park with a complex of buildings for religious and secular purposes. The temple complex also includes two small temples: the stone church of the Intercession of the Mother of God and the log church-chapel of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God — the forerunner of the modern Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
