It's a neighbour _country_. St Petersbug was easy too

Minister~=Priest, hence the comment

OK, am packing up for the evening just now: will put something up tomorrow morning (our time).

Roughly translated as Holy Trinity Presbytery, St Petersburg, the bit in brackets defeating me, although it has something to do with Easter. My last Russian lesson was about 60 years ago (yes, I did a couple of years in school, in my early teens. My teacher was one of the Semeneoffs).

Do I get my extra brownie points?

OK, this is close to a large city somewhere in this world, name the city, the large building and the purpose it serves.

Dunno about brownie points. Want some chocolate cookie points?

I'm away from my comp., maybe later I'll post more about that church.

Is it a sea or an ocean?

edit: church link http://www.unilib.neva.ru/city/churches/church17.html

Largish kind of sea, attached to an ocean through a strait.

**Kurt** · 13 June 2005, 02:00

**Brian Ellis** · 13 June 2005, 03:39

Well, my translation wasn't that bad, after all! I wonder why they call it a presbytery, rather than a church: does the word have a different meaning in Russian?

You're asking too much

BTW, how large is large city?

**Brian Ellis** · 13 June 2005, 05:12

Not sure of the size in kmÂ², but the population is >3 million

**Kurt** · 13 June 2005, 06:05

Commune or metro area?? Can't find a commune with that many inhabitants.

Anyway,..I'd have said south of France or north Italy or Greece (less likely).

If the City of London has about 1,000 inhabitants, it seems reasonable to assume a metropolitan area, but I have no clue how the figure is derived.

Not France, Italy or Greece

OK. North or South Mediterranean?

Guess where this is?
