Ad usum fabricae: to restore again...


Here we see Solemn Pontifical Mass being celebrated in the polygonal apse of the Catholic parish in the Russian city of Vladivostok just before the Soviet crush closed the parish. Miraculously, the church building survived and so did the cross - which at one point had been buried and lastly ended up in a museum - and just last month was finally returned to the sanctuary (see below) to the great joy and satisfaction of the local Catholic population.
