The churches of St. Petersburg are that part of the soul of the beautiful city on the Neva, where the earthly and heavenly, the momentary and the eternal are fused together. Under the St. Petersburg sky, the golden domes of majestic cathedrals and churches shine, slender minarets sparkle with majolica, the pointed Gothic turrets of churches rush upward, and the Kalachakra measures the passage of time over the portal of the Buddhist datsan... This unique publication is simultaneously a book, a guide, and a reference book. It is addressed not only to those who are getting acquainted with the shrines of St. Petersburg for the first time, but also to people who know and love this city well. After all, every contact with its spiritual heritage reveals a new facet of the incomprehensible appearance of the city of St. Peter the Apostle.
