It was decided to build in 1888, a year after the terrible train accident in which miraculously managed to survive the Royal family. Shortly before this tragedy, the Emperor Alexander III in support of the family visited Ekaterinodar. On the occasion of the salvation of the king and it was decided on the construction of the majestic Cathedral with seven altars.

Now we will visit the oldest religious building of the city - St. George temple. Krasnodar has a great variety of cathedrals, churches. But in this temple to visit it is necessary. Its history goes back more than 1000 years. According to legend, on the place where now is located the ancient temple, in 891, there was a terrible hurricane. The people began to plead for help. Hearing their cry, came down from heaven, Saint George and stilled the wind.

The Temples of Krasnodar amazing diversity of architecture. Trinity Cathedral, which is the main attraction of the Kuban Cossack army. The decision to build this amazing temple was made in 1899.

The Construction of this modest-sized temple was preceded by tragic events. In the Kuban region in 1892 was raging cholera epidemic that has claimed 15045 lives. The parishioners and all the faithful of the Kuban decided that it was a punishment for sin, so it was decided to hold a national prayer addressed to the Holy prophet Ilya. Believers promised to build a temple, if the disease will leave the city.
It is Unknown if the prayer or the work of physicians, but by the late autumn the epidemic subsided. In 1901 it was decided to begin construction of the temple in the name SV. Elijah.
The New Church was consecrated on 25 February 1907 with a huge number of people. And then he was made the first divine Liturgy. In 1918, this small Church received the status of a parish. In 1931 it was closed. Only during the German occupation (1941), the temple was open. It was still a little more than twenty years - and it was closed again (1963), removed the dome. For over 25 years the Shrine was used as a warehouse for the storage of sports equipment. His condition worsened with each passing year. In 1990 the Church began restoration work.
