First, His Holiness went to the spring of the Righteous Job the Long-Suffering (Chashma Ayub Mausoleum). According to a legend, Prophet Job (Ayub) once came to Bukhara as a preacher. Town dwellers who at the time suffered from drought and thirst asked him to give them water. Once the prophet struck the ground with his staff, a healing spring appeared. Nowadays the Orthodox Christians often read akathists at this place.<\/p>\n
After that His Holiness Patriarch Kirill visited the Poi-Kalyan architectural complex that consists of three buildings dating back to the 12th-16th centuries. These are the Kalyan Minaret, the Kalyan Mosque and the Mir-i Arab Madrasah.<\/p>\n
At the Mir-i Arab Madrasah, the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church was shown some marvels of calligraphy. The Mir-i Arab Madrasah was built in the second half of the 16th<\/sup> century. From the time of its foundation and until its closure in the early 1920s, the Mir-i Arab Madrasah was one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the Central Asia. At the moment more than 100 students study there.<\/p>\n His Holiness Patriarch Kirill also visited the Kalyan Mosque, the main cathedral mosque of Bukhara, which was built in the early 16th<\/sup> century at a site of the 12th<\/sup>-century Friday mosque. Today the Kalyan Mosque can accommodate up to 12 thousand people.<\/p>\n While visiting the Poi-Kalyan complex, the Primate of the Russian Church gave an interview to the O`zbekiston TV channel.<\/p>\n Later that day His Holiness visited the Emir\u2019s Winter Palace in Ark. The Ark Fortress is the oldest architectural site in Bukhara. Nowadays the Bukhara State Architecture and Art Museum-Reserve is located in the territory of the fortress.<\/p>\n In honour of the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, a reception was given on behalf of the administration of the Bukhara region.<\/p>\n Patriarchal Press Service\/<\/em><\/p>\n DECR Communication Service<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On 2 October 2017, after his visit to the Church of Archangel Michael, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia saw the historical sights of Bukhara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":150872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,11,12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150867"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
