Places to see in ( Nice - France ) St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral
The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicolas is virtually unanimously deemed one of the top attractions of Nice. Besides its tourist worth, it is also an edifice the uniqueness of which refers to the fact it is the largest Russian orthodox place of worship outside the administrative and political confines of Russia. On top of that, it is a national monument and a landmark of the architectural landscape of Nice.
The cathedral was built in the early 20th century (and consecrated in 1912) by order and with the support of Tsar Nicholas II, in view of servicing the constantly growing Russian community of Nice. The ornate exterior of this onion domed building is a clear mark of the Russian architectural style, the cathedral being easily distinguishable in Nice as an atypical structure.
The inside contains a vast collection of icons, decorative woodwork and items of huge historical value, in part moved from Russia to Nice during the troubled times of the Russian Civil War.

The Russian Cathedral of Nice is reborn.
The Russian Cathedral of Saint Nicolas has rediscovered the lustre of its creation from 1912. It is the most visited place of the French Riviera with more than 250,000 visitors per year. The cathedral was built on the spot where the eldest son of Tsar Alexandre II died. Attached to the Patriarchate of Constantinople until 2011, it officially became the property of the Russian Federation on April 10, 2013, after a long legal battle confirmed three times it was the property of the Russian Federation. In the period in between, the Moscow Patriarchate was in charge of the administrative and cultural duties of the building and had received the keys on December 15th, 2011.
The state of the interior and exterior of the building required urgent and important renovations: the Russian federation decided to finance and manage the large scale renovations over two long years of work between the end of 2013 and spring 2016 for a total cost of almost 14 million euros. More than 100 people worked on the repairs and the result is simply stunning. The Russian community now shares the feeling of a rediscovered space, deified by a perfectly controlled light that seems to come down from heaven.The eyes wander over the forgotten frescoes now meticulously revived all over the walls and its majestic ceilings that highlight the bright sweetness of the iconostasis with its beautiful icons.To celebrate this renewal and fund the operation of the building, the association of the Friends of the Russian Cathedral of Nice (the ACRN) organized a big charity event on Ascension Day in the Julian calendar.More than three hundred people have contributed financially to the organization of the gala dinner held in the Royal salon of the legendary Negresco hotel in Nice.

Visit St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, the largest Russian Orthodox church in Western Europe.
Opened in 1912 by Tsar Nicholas II it is now owned by Russia as of 2010.
“The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicolas is virtually unanimously deemed one of the top attractions of Nice. Besides its tourist worth, it is also an edifice the uniqueness of which refers to the fact it is the largest Russian orthodox place of worship outside the administrative and political confines of Russia. On top of that, it is a national monument and a landmark of the architectural landscape of Nice.
The cathedral was built in the early 20th century (and consecrated in 1912) by order and with the support of Tsar Nicholas II, in view of servicing the constantly growing Russian community of Nice.

“Maria Feodorovna was originally engaged to Nicolas Alexandrovitch (the young Tsarevich who died), but after his death, she married his brother, who became Alexander III. In 1896, the 49 year-old widow learned of plans to build a new Russian Orthodox Church in Nice, as the one on Longchamp had become too small for the growing community. She took the project to heart and her son, Tsar Nicholas II, paid for most of the church from his private funds.
This time, there were no restrictions to keep the Russians from building a church. Nice had become a part of France and embraced religious freedom, so the Russian community could have their Russian-style cathedral – bells and all. They wanted to represent Russia in her glory with an exuberant traditional design.
At first, they planned to raze the church on Longchamp and replace it with the new one. But the site was too small. Next they chose a site at the corner of rues Verdi and Berlios. Unfortunately, the soil there wasn’t suitable for such a large structure. So Maria asked her son, Tsar Nicholas II, to donate some of the land next to the Tsarevich chapel – it turned out to be the perfect spot.
The architect had designed a beautiful building for the previous site which had two large identical entrances to take advantage of access from the two streets. Even though the new location was not on a street corner, they liked the design and decided to keep it. This is why today you will see two entrances to the Cathedral, only one of which is used.
The first stone was laid in 1903 and it was finished in 1912. Today, it sits like a little jewel, in a green park on Avenue Nicolas II, just off Boulevard du Tzarewitch.
These three monuments, which are tied to the history of these Tsarinas, are still used and enjoyed by the Russian Orthodox community in Nice today. The Cathedral is also open to the public. Of course, it is still a place of worship so you must dress appropriately and be on your best behaviour.

Orthodox Archbishop of Athens welcomes Relics of St. Helena the Empress and Isapostle
His Beatitude Orthodox Archbishop of Athens and all Greece Ieronimos has welcomed the Relics of St. Helena the Empress of the Roman Empire, Equal to the Apostles and mother of the Holy and Great Emperor Constantine, Equal to the Apostles.
Vatican has allowed that Relics of St. Empress Helena visit Most Holy Church of Athens, for a short period of time, so Orthodox Christians could venerate the holy Empress.
St. Helena was Greek born and mother of st. Emperor Constantine, who stopped the persecution of the Orthodox Church in the Roman Empire in 313. St. Helena played great role in influencing her son to change Empire's politics on Christians and at last to convert the Emperor Himself to the Christian faith. St. Helena as a pilgrim visited the Holy Land, built important churches at the Holy Sites of the Lord's earthly life, and has found the True Cross.
St. Helena being the Empress of the Roman Empire, the Church of Athens and Greek Government have welcomed the Relics of St. Helena with all due state honors.
The Relics were carried inside the church, where Archbishop of Athens, along with the Bishops of the Greek Orthodox Church, priesthood and faithful have prayed together and once more confirmed the Faith that, by our Faith in Jesus Christ, we all become Body of Christ, as apostle Paul teaches us. The strong faith of St. Helena has embodied her own body in to the Body of Christ the Church, so Her body remains incorrupt to this day.
Fortify, o Lord, us in the incorrupt Orthodox Christian faith, and let us commune with You even more at the ever lasting day of Your Kingdom.
