1811 - the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg was consecrated
Kazan Cathedral - an outstanding monument of Russian architecture early XIX century. It was built according to the design of the designer Andrei Voronikhin. The laying of the cathedral took place in August 1801, its construction lasted for a whole decade. The Kazan Cathedral was consecrated on September 27, 1811 in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The cathedral has the shape of a Latin cross in plan. In accordance with tradition, its altar part faces east. The northern façade of the cathedral faces Nevsky Prospekt, which is adjoined by an excellent colonnade of 96 columns standing in four rows. The colonnade that forms the square on Nevsky Prospekt hides the main part of the cathedral's façade. Only in the center, above the rows of columns, rises on a round drum the highest dome of 70 meters in height. The cathedral is 72.5 meters long and 56.7 meters wide. The length of each of the wings of the colonnade is 42.7 meters. The entire facade of the Kazan Cathedral is lined with Pudozh stone.
This soft limestone, which was mined 9 kilometers from Gatchina, near the village of Pudost, or Pudozh (hence its name), is simply sawn and even cut with a knife in the first time after breaking out, and any figures and the narrowest ornament can be cut out of it. But later, after a long stay in the air, the stone hardens and acquires the strength of a brick. External columns, balustrades and reliefs of the cathedral are carved out of Pudozh stone. The walls of the cathedral are cut through by cyclopean windows. The statue is extensively used in the external design of the temple. The relief panel "Moses cutting the water in the desert" over the eastern passage was made by I.P. Martos, the panel "The Exaltation of the Copper Serpent" over the western passage - by I.P. Prokofiev. The frieze over the apse of the temple depicting the "Entrance to Jerusalem" was created by D. Rashett. In the niches behind the columns there are huge statues: Prince Vladimir and Alexander Nevsky (the work of the architect S.S. Pimenov), Andrew the First-Called (the work of V.I. Demut-Malinovsky) and John the Baptist (the work of Martos). The casting of the statues was entrusted to the best Russian caster of the early 19th century, V.P. Ekimov. Bas-reliefs and sculptures on the facades of the cathedral are outstanding works of Russian statues, which have a huge independent artistic value. Inside, the Kazan Cathedral is light, bright and more reminiscent of a palace hall than a cathedral. Its three naves are divided by beautiful colonnades of 2 rows of columns. In total, there are 56 columns carved from pink Finnish granite. Four massive pylons support a slender and light dome, consisting of 3 shells. The diameter of the dome exceeds 17 meters. It has round windows illuminating the dome space. The floor of the cathedral is covered with marble mosaics. In 1805-1806, for the Kazan Cathedral, the doors of the northern entrance were cast from bronze, reproducing the “Paradise Doors” of the Baptistery in Florence, the work of the famous Florentine architect 15th century by Lorenzo Ghiberti. Plaster cast of these doors Petersburg Academy She got the arts in 1774, and the casting and chasing of the doors were made by V.P. Ekimov. The door trims are covered with gold stucco ornamentation. Outstanding painters V.L. Borovikovsky, V.K. Shebuev, O.A. Kiprensky, A.E. Egorov, A.I. Ivanov, S.A. Bessonov worked on the interior design of the Kazan Cathedral. In 1939, the icons and paintings made by them were taken to Russian Museum. Only the written by A. Bessonov remained in place. The Last Supper and several minor works.
For a long time, the Kazan Cathedral served as a temple-monument of the Russian War of 1812. Soon after the construction of the cathedral was completed in 1813, the majestic Russian military leader M.I. Kutuzov was buried in it. His tomb is set in a crypt in the northern aisle of the cathedral. Above the tombstone, a board of reddish marble with a commemorative inscription is set into the wall. The iconostasis of the Kazan Cathedral was cast in the 1830s according to the design of K.A. Ton from silver, recaptured by the Cossacks from the retreating French. The trophies of the Russian war and foreign campaigns of 1813-1815 were kept in the cathedral: 107 banners and standards of the regiments of the Napoleonic army, keys to 8 fortresses and 17 cities, as well as the baton of Marshal Davout (in 1932, when a museum of religion and atheism was set up in the cathedral), these relics were removed from the cathedral. On the square in front of the Kazan Cathedral in 1837, according to the model of the architect B. Orlovsky, monuments to Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly were erected. The Kazan Cathedral was significantly damaged during the Great Russian War and was restored in 1964-1968. The right to use the Kazan Cathedral for a couple of years was disputed by the Municipal Museum of the History of Religion and the St. Petersburg Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church(ROC). November 4, 1990 entered the history of the Kazan Cathedral as the day of its revival. On this day - the feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God - the Divine Liturgy was served in the church building by the priest Grigory Krasnotsvetov, cleric of the Prince Vladimir Cathedral, after more than a seventy-year break. A community was created in the cathedral, which began to restore church life and the temple itself. On March 29, 1998, His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir of St. Petersburg and Ladoga consecrated the main altar and the entire cathedral building. From now on, all the sacraments began to be performed in the cathedral, including the sacrament of the priesthood.
The Exaltation of the Conscientious and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord
The holiday was established to commemorate the acquisition in the 4th century by Queen Lena - the mother of the Equal-to-the-Apostles ruler Constantine the Great, the first of the Roman kings who stopped the persecution of Christians - the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. According to church tradition, Lena visited the Holy Land specifically in order to find the burial place of Christ and the very cross on which He was crucified. As a result of the excavations made by Lena, the cave of the Holy Sepulcher was found and three crosses were found not far from it. The cross of Jesus Christ was determined when the sick woman who venerated it was healed. According to another legend, from contact with this cross, the deceased was resurrected, who was carried down the street for burial (hence the name Life-Giving Cross). Lena sent a part of the cross to Constantinople, and its main part was placed in the main church of Jerusalem. Above the cave of the Holy Sepulcher, the Church of the Resurrection of Christ was built, into which the shrine was transferred. In order to enable countless pilgrims to see the cross of the Lord, Bishop Macarius of Jerusalem raised or “raised” it over the heads of the worshipers, and from this raising - “exaltation” - the name of the holiday came out.
The Feast of the Exaltation is one of the most majestic and is celebrated on September 27 in memory of the consecration of the Church of the Resurrection, which was performed in 335. The eve of the holiday, called the Renovation of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem, is also dedicated to the memory of this action. For Christians, the cross is the emblem of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Celebrating this holiday, Christians are imbued with the consciousness that they honor this sign, taking a vow to humbly bear “their cross”, completely relying on the will of God. Since the cross symbolizes suffering, fasting is observed on the feast of the Exaltation. During the solemn divine service, the establishment of the cross on the throne is performed and then it is carried out to the middle of the temple for worship.

1840 - Thomas Nast is born
1840 - Thomas Nast was born, one of the first American political cartoonists, the creator of the emblems of the Republican and Democratic parties - an elephant and a donkey, also a Santa Claus suit.
The popular South American cartoonist Thomas Nast, who died in 1902, was a native of Germany. When Nast was 6 years old, his ancestors emigrated to the United States, where he later became one of the first political cartoonists. The painter became famous after he painted an elephant and a donkey, which became the emblems of the Republican and Democratic parties. Even Thomas Nast was the first to draw the South American Santa Claus - Santa Claus. Previously, no one had any idea how Santa Claus looks and how he gets to Christmas socks. He was represented both as a small old man, similar to an elf, and as a cruel spirit of winter. Children and adults also wanted to see Santa. And Santa Claus was drawn by Thomas Nast for Harper Weekly in 1862. It was taken from the fabulous German bearded man Nicholas, who, according to legend, appears in a dream to very playful children. The painter settled Klaus at the North Pole (he “moved” to Lapland in the 20th century). The covers of the magazine enjoyed indescribable popularity. During the Civil War, Lincoln asked Nast to draw Santa with the northerners. Historians say that the Confederate army was demoralized by the appearance of Klaus on the side of the enemy. Santa Thomas Nast had one flaw - he was black and white. The reddish fur coat was granted to the fabulous grandfather in 1885 by the publisher Louis Prang. He brought to America the Victorian tradition of Christmas greeting cards, made in the technique of color lithography. So Santa Claus changed the furs that Nast dressed him in for a benign bright red outfit. The ruddy cheeks, reddish nose and shaggy beard of the "old Santa Claus" are now known to everyone.
1932 - Pierre Degeyter, creator of the Internationale, died
Pierre Degeyter was born on October 8, 1848 in Belgium in a working-class family, who later moved to France. From his youth he worked at the enterprises of Lille, he was a furniture maker-modeller. He sang in the choir, studied music theory, learned to play musical instruments. Joined revolutionary movement, since 1920 - a member of the French Communist Party. He was the choirmaster of the vocal society "Workers' Lyre", organized by the Lille branch of the workers' party. For this society in 1888 he wrote music to the verses of E. Pottier "The Internationale". The Internationale was performed for the first time on 23 June 1888 in Lille at a printers' party. He composed the words of the proletarian anthem Eugene Pottier, who was popular in his time as a chansonnier. In the same year, The Internationale was published in Lille as a separate leaflet with a circulation of 6,000 copies and rapidly spread among the working-class districts of Northern France and Belgium, and then beyond them. The notes of the "Internationale" were written with the surname Degeyter, but without indicating the first name. Later, anti-Degeyter right-wing socialists took advantage of this, forcing Pierre Degeyter's brother Adolf to challenge the authorship of the song. In 1922, after a long process, the highest appellate tribunal confirmed Pierre's rights. He is also the creator of the songs Kommunar (text by Potier), Forward, Working Class, Hammer and Sickle, Triumph Russian revolution”(text by Degeyter), etc. In 1928, Pierre Degeyter visited the USSR. In 1962, a collection of Degeyter's songs was published in Moscow, edited by Vasily Belosnezhny. The Russian text of The Internationale belongs to Arkady Kots (1902).

On January 10, 1918, at the Third Congress of Soviets, the Internationale was already sung as the anthem of the victorious proletarian revolution. It was the anthem of the Russian Union until 1944 and to this day is the anthem of the Communist Party.
