In 2013, the Armenian Apostolic Church's Russian and New Nakhichevan Diocese celebrated a significant milestone with the completion of the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Moscow. This architectural triumph not only enriched the Moscow skyline but also reinforced the spiritual and cultural presence of the Armenian community in Russia. The cathedral, being a symbol of faith and continuity, has become a central hub for community gatherings and religious ceremonies. To honor this historical moment, the diocese commissioned a commemorative medal, capturing the essence of the cathedral's significance and celebrating the collective endeavor of the faithful who made this dream a reality. The medal is a testament to the Armenian diaspora's commitment to preserving their heritage and faith through monumental achievements.
