The priests of Trinity Cathedral were again threatened by anti-Semites?

On September 5, 2006, the priest of the Trinity Cathedral, Fr. Konstantin told the Fontanka.Ru agency that already after the fire that occurred on August 25, "strongly built young people with an aggressive appearance" came to the Trinity Cathedral . They asked the servants of the temple if they thought that the fire " "was a punishment for the restoration of six-pointed stars on the domes . Father Konstantin regarded these questions as a threat, which he told reporters about.

Meanwhile, the fact of anti-Semitic threats about the six-pointed stars on the dome of the temple on the eve of the fire was confirmed by Archimandrite Sergius (Sturov), the dean of the temples of the Admiralty District - it was he who was called by the nationalists with demands to remove the stars from the dome.

He said that in July-August there were three or four phone calls. The men who called had "Russian voices, without any accents . " The callers did not introduce themselves, calling themselves simply parishioners of the Trinity Cathedral. Only one of the threats identified himself as Vladimir. They all said that "the rector of the Trinity Cathedral, Father Gennady, is doing it wrong by restoring the six-pointed Stars of David on the dome, that they do not accept this . "
