The Angel Growing Church is located in the Kremlin in Moscow. It is estimated that Putin is going to worship the church. We did not go in because of time relations, and only took a few photos from a distance. It was really beautiful.

I like the shape of the Angel Growing Church very much, compared to the colorful of the Basilica and the Blood Cathedral, I prefer this simple color appearance, pure silver brick walls and golden dome, look solemn and unusual
The joint ticket purchased in Moscow contains this, the cathedral is also a very important facility, the interior is gorgeously decorated, the huge glass and ceiling are also very precious, the whole design of the church is also very good.
The Angel Growing Church (Арха́нгельский собо́р), located in the Kremlin of Red Square in Moscow, was built in 1505-1508 by Italian architect Alevitz Novi, and is the mausoleum of the Grand Duke of Moscow. The first Angel-Growing Church was built by Ivan, the first Grand Duke of Moscow, and after 172 years, it was ordered to be demolished by Ivan III, and all the coffins in the cathedral were moved to another church, and the new church was relocated in grandeur. The Angel Grow Church is dedicated to the archangel Michael, who is the patron saint of the princes. The Archduke will pray before the expedition, while others will swear allegiance to the Archduke. Later, the new Tsars after the coronation ceremony will lead the crowd to the cathedral to worship their ancestors. The main body of the 16th century murals that remain to date is the fictional portraits of all the princes buried in the cathedral.

The weather was not very good when I went, the top was still being fenced up for repairs, and I didn't see the whole picture. Inside was the main purpose of storing tsars and nobles of the past, and dozens of sarcophagus were arranged in a dense manner inside, very crowded. Even the monarchs in the West are so stacked after death, which is very different from Chinese customs. You can take a Chinese manual to see which monarchs are stored in each sarcophagus.
