The cathedral stands on a high concrete base covered with granite and sandstone. The walls are made of red brick and are faced with yellow bricks streaked with intricate patterns. The central dome of the cathedral is surrounded by four smaller domes symbolizing Jesus Christ surrounded by four apostles - evangelists. The high bell tower above the main entrance of the temple reminds us of John the Baptist, who proclaimed the kingdom of God. The central altar, like the entire temple, was dedicated in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, whom sailors have long considered their heavenly patron saint and prayer book. The southern aisle (altar) was consecrated in honor of the Epiphany (Baptism of the Lord). The north chapel is dedicated to Saint Alexis, a miracle worker who lived in the 14th century.
