Kresttsy prayer times overview
The Kresttsy prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Kresttsy prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Kresttsy geographic location is 58.2478°N, 32.5180°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Kresttsy the sun rises at 04:52, while Maghrib begins at 20:58. Daylight lasts 16 часов 6 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.

Questions about prayer times in Kresttsy
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Kresttsy daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:46) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:58): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Kresttsy it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
