Coronation of Tsar Alexander III and Tsarina Maria Feodorovna (Princess Dagmar of Denmark)

The coronation of Alexander III and Maria Feodorovna (Princess Dagmar of Denmark) took place in May, 1883, at Uspensky Sobor of the Moscow Kremlin.

In 1881, Tsarevich Alexander's father was assassinated. Because of civil unrest and concerns about terrorist attacks, the coronation ceremony was delayed more than two years.
