Church on the Blood. Emperor's family.
EKATERINBURG SUBURBS
Church on the Blood
The family of Russia’s last Emperor and their faithful servants were held prisoner in the house of Ipatev, a Ekaterinburg engineer, from April 30, 1918 through July 16, 1918. By God’s will, it was the sisterhood of our Convent, who were among the last to express their love to the Royal Family. The nuns of our Convent brought food to the Ipatev House helping all of the inmates, and most of all, the ailing Cesarevich Alexei.
During the night of 16/17 of July, 1918 all the prisoners were brutally killed.
Now at the site of their martyrdom there is a new church dedicated to the All Saints of Russia. This "Church on the Blood", just as the Church of Christ Savior in Moscow, serves as a symbol of Russia's repentance and spiritual rebirth.
