The Cathedral of The Epiphany, located very close to the Angara River, here in Irkutsk, Russia, sits amidst a fair number of other very interesting attractions. So this is definitely a prime area to visit here in Irkutsk. The exterior of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral is very beautiful as is its interior. Now for an interesting aside. I had visited the Cathedral of the Epiphany and totally missed truly seeing a pair of monumental busts along side of the Cathedral. First you have the Monument to Saint Innocent of Alaska. His monument, along with a neighboring monument to Saint Sophronius of Irkutsk, tend to be lost so to speak in the shadows of the great Cathedral of the Epiphany. I found out about these two monuments while researching Things to do in Irkutsk and returned to the Cathedral specifically to see them and to write a review thereof.
