Unity at the Chalice of Christ. How Russians and Ukrainians are reconciled in Hamburg

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

[REGNUM] Temple in honor of St. right John of Kronstadt in the center of Hamburg, the largest in Germany, is decorated with lush greenery in the warm season. The majestic church building, built in neo-Romanesque and at the same time oriental style, is crowned with a dome and five golden crosses. The figure of the saint himself, located on the wall of the church, to the right of the entrance, is also buried in the treetops. The temple is beautiful not only externally. Crossing the threshold, you seem to find yourself in an endless space under a high dome - morning light pours from large windows along the entire circular perimeter of the building. The fresco iconostasis reflects it so softly that the feet themselves carry you to the altar. And only then do you notice the “woven” patterns of the marble floor. This entire amazing, harmonious space is filled with believers - from small children to elderly parishioners.
