Monument to the Venerable Martyr Grand Duchess
Elizabeth Feodorovna Unveiled in Kazakhstan
The “Orthodoxy in Kazakhstan” website has reported
that the monument was constructed on the square in front of the only church in
honor of the Holy Royal Martyrs in the village of Klyuchi (Karabulak) in the
Talgar district of the Almaty region in Kazakhstan.
The monument represents a slightly altered copy of the
monument to the Venerable Martyr Elizabeth at the St. Martha-Mary Convent in
Moscow. It was made of bronze by the “Versal” company in Kazakhstan.
Construction lasted for two years.
The church in honor of the Holy Royal Martyrs in the
village of Klyuchi is a smaller version of the church in honor of the
Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos in the city of Oreanda in the Republic of
Crimea, which is connected with the misfortunes of the Royal House of the
Romanovs. The
Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt served in the Protection Church
in Oreanda, in which the Venerable Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna
prepared and received Holy Communion.
