Orthodox Spiritual and Cultural center will start working in Strasbourg in several days, IA Interfax informs. It will be opened at the territory of the Russian perish of All Saints Cathedral. An inaugural opening is appointed for Friday, May 19.

A representative office of Russian Orthodox Church to Council of Europe will be located in the center; there also will be several halls for organizing different events, living blocks and warehouses.
