Heads of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Armenian Apostolic Church, Patriarch Kirill and Catholicos Garegin II, have participated in laying the foundation of a new Russian Orthodox cathedral in Yerevan. The construction of the Church of the Exaltation of the Honorable and Life-Giving Cross at the man-made Yerevan Lake is to be completed within two years. According to ITAR-TASS, the cathedral will have five domes and a bell tower, and designed by Moscow architect Yelena Gurova. The future church and an Armenian one currently under construction in Moscow symbolize the yearlong friendship of the two nations and open up new opportunities for further cooperation, the Catholicos of all Armenians said.
