Just a snippet of Moscow History...

[Corno Dolce]

The picture here was once the world's largest outdoor swimming pool - Now Christ the Saviour Cathedral resides here - Before the pool there was to be built the Palace of the Soviets - Before the Palace was the original Christ the Saviour Cathedral that was built to commemorate Russia defeating Napoleon's Army. After the original Cathedral was destroyed by the godless bolsheviks, the fervently faithful babushkas of Moscow said that all those who swam in the pool were secretly baptised - Why? Because the ground where the pool was, was in fact sanctified as the site of the Cathedral. So you see, don't mess with that which is sanctified for use by the Heavenly Kingdom...
