- Saint Basil Cathedral’s full title is the Cathedral of the Protection of Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat.
- The interior is a maze of galleries winding from chapel to chapel and level to level via narrow stairways and low arches. The walls are painted in floral and geometric patterns.
- Saint Basil the Blessed can be visited in his chapel on the lower floor, where he lies in a silver casket in gaudy splendor.
- One service a year is held in the Cathedral, on the Day of Intercession in October.
