The temple-chapel of St. Andrew the First-Called in Vladivostok

The temple-chapel of St. Andrew the First-Called in Vladivostok was built in 2005 on the initiative of the command of the Pacific Fleet. The decision to build it was made after the relics of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called were brought to Vladivostok in 2003.

A small single-domed white church accommodates 40-50 people and is decorated with icons of military-church themes. They depict Russian soldiers, listed as saints, such as George the Victorious, Alexander Nevsky and Fyodor Ushakov.
