Not much has been happening on this blog. I haven't had much time, I just received a few cards these last weeks and I don't always like them. A few days ago, some official postcards arrived, including the first of these postcards of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Minsk. The 2nd card is also an official postcard, with the same church, received in 2019.

One of the most visible churches in Minsk, with its central location overlooking the Svisloch river in the historic Upper Town, the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit is the most important Russian Orthodox church in the city.

Its origins date back to the 17th century when the building served as a Catholic Bernardine monastery. After several devastating fires and a conversion to Orthodoxy, the church was expanded and renovated, though the monastery was closed in 1922. The church's holiest icon is the image of the Mother of God, which is said to have been found by Minsk residents in 1500.
