Руската православна общност в Германия празнува Деня на Победата с кръст

Several dozen believers attended the inauguration of a new cross at the Russian Orthodox Saint George monastery in Milmersdorf on Wednesday, erected in remembrance of WWII victims and in celebration of Victory Day. The cross was blessed by the Russian Orthodox Archbishop of Berlin and Germany Feofan Galinskij. Abbot Daniil Orbits of the Saint George monastery stated that the cross does not only represent the plight of WWII's victims, but also embodied "a bridge of friendship" between Germany and Russia. The cross, weighing in at about two tonnes, is five metres high (16.4 ft) and three metres wide (9.8 ft). Made from the bronze, the cross was paid for by two Russian sponsors.
