Church of the Savior on Blood, St. Petersburg
圣彼得堡血之救世主教堂
I visited the Church of the Savior on Blood when I was in St. Petersburg. Church of the Savior is one of the most unique and colorful buildings in St. Petersburg and in Europe. You can see the picture of this church in almost every brochure or banner that promotes about St. Petersburg. The other name of this church is Church on Spilled Blood.
当我在圣彼得堡的时候，我参观了滴血救主教堂（血腥教堂）。 救主教会是圣彼得堡和欧洲最独特和多彩的建筑之一。 你几乎可以在每一个推广圣彼得堡的小册或横幅看到这个教堂的图片。这个教堂的另一个名字就是“滴血大教堂”。
According to my private tour guide, this church was built around 1883. It was built to honor the previous Emperor of Russia, Emperor Alexander II, by is his son, Emperor Alexander III. Emperor Alexander II was badly injured in this church by protestors that were against his principles and vision for the country. He died shortly after the attack. When he was in power, Alexander tried to change the political system and many people including the Nobles didn’t like it. He was also called Alexander The Liberator.
据我的私人导游介绍，这座教堂建于1883年左右。它是为了纪念俄罗斯的前皇帝亚历山大二世而建造的，他的儿子是亚历山大三世皇帝。亚历山大二世皇帝在这个教堂受到了反对他的原则和国家愿景的抗议者的严重伤害。他在袭击后不久就死了。亚力山大掌权后，试图改变政治体制，包括贵族在内的许多人都不喜欢 他也被称为亚历山大解放者。
Everything that I saw in this museum is made of mosaic. The whole church is covered with detailed mosaics. After I researched deeper, I found out that there is a total of 7500 square meters of mosaics in this church according to Wikipedia. But, this is not the largest church with mosaics in the world. The biggest church with mosaics is the Cathedral Basilica of St.
Louis in St Louis, Missouri, United States.
我在这个博物馆里看到的一切都是用马赛克做的。整个教堂都有详细的镶嵌画。在我深入研究之后，我发现根据维基百科，这座教堂总共有7500平方米的马赛克。但是，这并不是世界上最大的镶嵌着马赛克的教堂。最大的马赛克教堂是圣·路易斯教堂，位于美国圣路易斯州的密苏里。
See how detailed the mosaic is? If you have seen how small these mosaics are, you will admire the patience and craftsmanship that artists had in the past to create a masterpiece like this.
看看马赛克有多详细？如果你看到这些马赛克有多小，你会钦佩这艺术家过去的耐心和技艺从而创造这样的杰作。
This was the exact spot where Emperor Alexander II was badly injured by the protestors in March 1881, more than 136 years ago.
Fun Fact: This church was also used as a temporary morgue during World War II. It was even used as a storage for potatoes after the war.
My tour guide asked me to guess what the church was used as after the war. I couldn't guess the correct answer. I would have never imagined that this church was once used for keeping potatoes.
这正是亚历山大二世皇帝在136年前的1881年3月被抗议者严重伤害的确切地点。
有趣的事实：第二次世界大战期间，这座教堂也被用作临时停尸房。战争结束后，它甚至被用作马铃薯的储藏物。
我的导游让我猜一下战争后教堂的用途。我猜不出正确的答案。我万万没想到这座教堂曾经用来收土豆。
