The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is the principal Ukrainian Orthodox church in Transcarpathia. It dominates the Cyril and Methodius Square in the city of Uzhhorod.
The 60-metre-tall five-domed church was built in the 1990s after the Orthodox cathedral of the Holy Cross had been restituted to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The modern building can hold up to 5000 worshippers. Its ground floor contains a chapel dedicated to the Feast of the Cross. The arch-priest is Dmytro Sydor.
The cathedral belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). In 2008 the building was raided by the national security agency on suspicion of separatist activities.[1]
