The already existing St. Nicholas Church in Rome does not accommodate everyone. A new Orthodox church is being built on the territory of the Russian Embassy. The idea of its construction arose at the end of the 19th century. In 1913, a collection of donations was started, but the revolution prevented the project from being implemented. In the 1990s, on the initiative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, it was revived. Metropolitan Kirill's meeting with the Pope is scheduled for Thursday. And in the evening of the same day, the choir of the Moscow Sretensky Monastery, which joined the delegation, will give a concert in the Auditorium hall.
