The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God is a prominent Russian Orthodox cathedral in Ufa, serving as the main church of the Ufa Metropolitanate. The cathedral's history dates back to the early 20th century, with its construction being completed and consecration taking place in 1909. It was built to replace an older church that had become too small for the growing congregation. The cathedral was closed during the Soviet era in 1934 and its building was repurposed for various secular uses, including a cinema workshop. It was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991, after which a major restoration project was undertaken. The cathedral was reconsecrated in 2003. It houses significant religious artifacts, including a revered copy of the Tabynsk Icon of the Mother of God, which is a major pilgrimage object. The cathedral functions as the primary episcopal see for the metropolitan of Ufa and Sterlitamak and is a central institution for the spiritual life of the Orthodox community in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
