This cathedral is very similar to St Peter and Pavel’s cathedral in Senitsa village but the church of god’s mother has 5 domes covered with gold. Repairing hasn’t still finished. Public worships are performed on the territory of a shopping centre where there is a temporary church and a stand wh ere you can buy everything for visiting the sanctuary.

In 1998 and 2001 the building was robed but all icons were not touched.
