The Foundation of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior has completed work on a 3D tour of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The tour has been produced using Matterport technology, scanning all the main spaces and decks of the cathedral.

The 3D tour offers a unique opportunity online to examine every detail of the Cathedral's architecture and decorations, and to admire the sights of the Russian capital as seen from its belfries. Footnotes contain information on the most important and interesting objects.

The 3D tour takes a visitor not only to the main public space of the Cathedral, but also to its altar, the Transfiguration Church (lower church), the Hall for Church Assemblies, a gallery, and an observation deck.

Each of the modules that make up the 3D tour contain information about sacred objects, icons, and most importantly, holy relics — reliquaries with particles of the Robe of the Lord, the Robe of the Mother of God, the relics of Saint John the Baptist and the Apostle Andrew, and the reliquary with the holy relics of Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow and Kolomna (Drozdov). 

The 3D tour gives an opportunity to see a historic icon, painted specifically for the first Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was built in the 19th century and destroyed in the 1930s — the icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands by Evgraf Sorokin. It was saved from destruction in the 1930s and a private owner returned the icon to the cathedral after it was restored.
