The bowls of the XVIII-XIX centuries were restored in Petrozavodsk to the 800th anniversary of the baptism of the Karelians

In Petrozavodsk to the anniversary of the 800th anniversary of the baptism of the Karelian people timed the completion of restoration work on two ancient church bowls. According to the community “Orthodoxy in Karelia”, the vessels of the XVIII and XIX centuries, stored in the Holy Cross Cathedral, were restored by specialists from the Urals on the initiative of Metropolitan Constantine of Petrozavodsk and Karelian.

Previously, these items of church utensils for a long time were not used in worship due to serious damage received in the era of the USSR. The masters carried out painstaking work: the silver bowl and the gilded vessel of the XVIII century were completely restored. The return of these relics to liturgical use is seen as an important step in preserving the spiritual heritage of the region.
