Kiev, Ukraine - "These days we are actively conducting work on the heating system and decoration of the facade of the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ. This became possible because the necessary costs were allotted to us, with which we bought materials and increased the amount of workers. Work is being conducted in three areas: decoration of the facade, completing work on the metal constructions, and concluding the necessary preparations for the installation of stained-glass windows. There is a time-table of work execution which is being followed 100 percent. It will enable us to close a facade from the mark of 13.2 meters and higher, namely, at the pylon part of the cathedral (at the level of the central vault of the church) by July of this year. Then from August and to the middle of September it is planned to conduct painting of the facade, and after this coverage with copper (it has already been bought) of the central vault of the church." So Mr. Mykhail Stavskyj, general director of building administration for the patriarch of the UGCC, talking about building of the Patriarchal Center in these days, reported to the Information Department of the UGCC .
According to Mr. Stavskyj, with the appearance of the necessary financing for the construction work, which, unfortunately was not systematic, the facade work from the zero level to the 13.2 meter point will start again this year. "We want to do this using the warm period of the year, to close off the cathedral fully from atmospheric influences," Mr. Stavskyj explained.
Watch the process of building the cathedral through a web-camera which records changes which take place on the construction site every hour. Its address: www.sobor.ugcc.org.ua.
