Saintly figures mysteriously vanish from Cathedral of the Assumption in Omsk
The Holy Assumption Cathedral, a prominent church in Omsk, Russia, has been the centre of controversy recently due to the reported removal of its icons. The cathedral, a significant landmark in the city, has seen digging and construction activities, but no official information has been provided about the purpose of these works or the condition of the icons after their removal.
Concerned readers have reported the icon removal to "Omsk-Info", sparking an official inquiry to the Omsk Eparchy. However, the Eparchy has yet to respond, leaving the exact reasons and timeline for the icons' return unknown.
It is speculated that the icon removal might be due to upcoming restoration work or technical maintenance. The ongoing digging and construction around the cathedral, with visible construction debris in the area, seem to support this theory. Yet, no specific information about the parties responsible for the restoration work or the condition of the icons during or after the removal process has been disclosed.
The situation is being closely monitored, with the hope that more information will be provided soon to clarify the circumstances surrounding the icon removal from the Holy Assumption Cathedral of Omsk. Until then, the mystery remains unsolved.
