Ascension Cathedral and a Monument to Peter and Fevronia
The Ascension Cathedral (Voznesensky Sobor) stands on the site of the wooden Church of the Ascension of 1913. In 1988, the church was rebuilt in a stone cathedral for the celebration of the 1000th Anniversary of the Christianization of Rus’. Parishioners come here to pray to the icons of St. Nicholas with a particle of relics and to the icon of St. Panteleimon the Healer.
There is a three-meter bronze monument to Peter and Fevronia in the garden square next to the Ascension Cathedral. This is one of the eight sculptures created by Constantine Cherniavsky in honor of the Day of Family Happiness, Love and Fidelity and installed in different cities of Russia. Prince Peter and his wife Fevronia lived in Murom in the XIII century, and they were canonized in the XVI century.
