The '''Kazan Cathedral of Moscow''', located on Red Square, was originally built in 1636 in honor of the [[Icon ]] of the [[Our Lady of Kazan]] (Russian: Казанская Богоматерь) and to commemorate Tsar Michael’s victory, in 1612, over the Poles at the end of the Time of Troubles. The current building is a reconstruction of the original [[cathedral]] that was destroyed in 1936 by the Bolshevik government.
