Hello Everyone,

I will be in St. Petersburg in two weeks, and were just hoping for a little help. We are orthodox, and would like to attend a liturgy on Sunday morning. Was hoping someone could help point me toward an active orthodox church with regular Sunday liturgies. I have read that St. Nicholas is active (and looks beautiful in pictures!), but cannot find any information regarding their schedule of services.

Also, we are looking for a recommendation on a banya. I have found a generic list of several banyas in the city, but would love to know which are the best/nicest/cleanest.

Thanks for any help you can give me!
James
