Christmas Fair at the Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity<\/p>\n
December 8 \u2014 noon to 6 p.m.
\nAv. Brasil 315
\nFree admission<\/p>\n
Ok, so technically it\u2019s not a weekend plan because it\u2019s on Monday, but religious holidays are, well, sacred. On Monday, December 8th, the Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity,\u00a0 in the heart of San Telmo, opens its doors to celebrate the third edition of its Christmas Fair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before you walk into this magnificent 1904 church to get some unique gifts, food, and crafts, make sure to cross the street to Parque Lezama and get a full view of its facade, featuring typically Moscovian architecture style and its blue domes, rising eastward-facing crosses, as well as an original mosaic representing the Holy Trinity, made in St. Petersburg.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Admission is free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
