The legend of Notre Dame de Russia

This church was built to commemorate an important historical event in Russian national life in the middle of the16th century-conquest, victory and the combination of Vasily Ascension Hall and Kazan Han State. Later, it was named after a monk named Vasily, who practiced penance here and eventually died in the church. "Blayenne" is dead in Russian. Legend has it that during the war, the Russian army got the help of the Eight Saints and the war went smoothly. This church was built in memory of eight saints. The eight domes on the Eight Pagodas represent a saint, and the highest church crown in the middle symbolizes the supremacy of God. After the church was completed, Ivan the Great cruelly blinded all the architects in order to ensure that the same church would never appear again, and Ivan the Great was accused of being a "terror czar".
