Church of the Nativity

built in 2003 with donations from local residents and patrons, according to the design of architects M.A. Pankratov, N.F. Rakhmanov.

Church of the Nativity today

The Church of the Nativity in Mytishchi is located in the city center at the intersection of busy transport arteries. It became the first religious building to appear in the city after the 70-year period of Bolshevik rule.

The grandiose white-stone cathedral has become the center of the spiritual life of the residents of Mytishchi and one of the points of excursion trips to the iconic architectural monuments of the Moscow region.

Sponsorship

Many people and organizations took part in the implementation of the idea of building the temple. Government officials took an active part during construction. B.V. Gromov, the governor of the Moscow region, showed great interest in the results of construction. He constantly visited the temple during its construction and later, when the cathedral was already built. The main stages of construction were carried out by S.A. Butusova, whose director is S.A. Butusova, and LaVina, its director is A.A. Yazykov. Head of the city administration A.E. Murashov organized a collection of donations for this charitable cause; funds were collected in almost all organizations and enterprises of the city.

The result of the work of many people was one of the largest and most beautiful religious buildings in the Moscow region - the Church of the Nativity of Christ. Photos of this temple allow you to appreciate the majesty and splendor of the erected cathedral.

History of construction

By the beginning of the 21st century, 3 Orthodox churches functioned in the Mytishchi district, which could not accommodate all the people who wanted to turn to the Lord. All of them were located in suburban villages, which made them difficult for residents of central city neighborhoods to visit. In this regard, the need to build a religious building in the center of the settlement became obvious.

In 2000, on the occasion of the Nativity of Christ, Metropolitan Yuvenaly blessed the initiative of the townspeople to build a new church. The city authorities also supported this good initiative.

Foundation stone of the Church of the Nativity in Mytishchi

From this moment the preparatory period of construction began, consisting of the following:

organizing fundraising for construction work;
preparation of an architectural design for the future temple;
selection and approval of a suitable land plot.

Preparatory activities were completed by the summer of the same year. In July, the head of the Kolomna and Krutitsa diocese, Metropolitan Yuvenaly, performed the rite of consecration of the foundation stone.

City authorities, local entrepreneurs, and ordinary townspeople participated in the construction of a small wooden church.

Construction and finishing work was completed after 5 months. The first service took place on December 5, on the feast of the Entry into the Temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in honor of which the erected building was consecrated.

Already during the first service, the religious building could not accommodate all the parishioners. During the year, preparations were made for the construction of another larger building. In November 2001, work began on preparing the site and pouring the foundation for the temple.

These works were carried out as charity by two local construction organizations. Specialists from the company “Project” LLC worked on the architectural project under the leadership of N.F. Rakhmanov.

Funds for construction work came from the following sources:

municipal budget;
donations from municipal and private enterprises in the area;
all possible assistance from parishioners participating in the “Name Brick” campaign.

The construction work was observed by the head of the Moscow region B.V. Gromov. The first divine service took place on the day of the Holy Resurrection of Christ in 2004. A year later, the Moscow region governor was present at the Easter service in the already completed building. He noted the enormous work of builders and parishioners in improving the area adjacent to the temple.

The ceremonial consecration of the temple took place on July 10, 2005. It was conducted by Metropolitan Yuvenaly in the presence of the heads of the city and regional administration. Activities to improve the temple space and the surrounding area continued for several years.

History[edit]

The small settlement of Mytishchi became a city already in the 20s of the twentieth century, when it was not possible to build a temple. A large residential area found itself without spiritual nourishment. After the transformations in our country, the need to build a temple was obvious. This good deed was entrusted to the cleric of the Church of the Vladimir Mother of God, priest Oleg Shlenov. Joint work with the city administration began. It took a long time to choose the site for the temple. On April 27, 2000, by decree of the head of the Mytishchi administration A.E. Murashov, a site was allocated in the very center of the city, perhaps the best possible.

On the anniversary of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ, the plan of ceremonial events in the Mytishchi deanery dedicated to this event included the laying of the foundation of the future church, which was performed on July 6, 2000 by Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsky and Kolomna in front of a large crowd of people. In his speech, the Metropolitan then called on everyone to take part in this saving and important work, expressing confidence that the erected temple would become the face and worthy adornment of the city.

Already now we can say with confidence that the words of Vladyka Juvenaly have been fulfilled literally and the Church of the Nativity of Christ in the city of Mytishchi is one of the most majestic and beautiful among other churches in the region.

After this event, work immediately began on the construction of a wooden temple for worship and the development of a project for a large stone temple. On December 4, 2000, the first Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the church in honor of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos. In the fall of 2001, after the creation of the project and receipt of all approvals, construction work began, and in 2003, an action was held at the construction site in which city residents took part. For a voluntary donation, people had the opportunity to lay bricks into the walls of the temple with their own hands. One of the first to take part in this action was the governor of the Moscow region B.V. Gromov, the head of the Mytishchi district A.E. Murashov, the district administration, city organizations and everyone interested.

The Church of the Nativity of Christ, which united in the work of its creation not only all Mytishchi enterprises and organizations, but also ordinary residents of our city, under the leadership and personal control of the head of the Mytishchi district A.E. Murashov, was declared a “People's Construction Site”. And now the long-awaited day has come. On a sunny early morning, a joyful peal of bells announced to numerous parishioners the arrival of His Eminence the Archpastor. Vladyka Yuvenaly was met by the dean of the Mytishchi church district, priest Dimitry Olovyannikov, the rector of the Nativity Church, Archpriest Oleg Shlenov, and the head of the Mytishchi district, A.E. Murashov.

After the meeting and vestments, the great consecration of the temple began, which, in addition to the central altar, has two more chapels - in honor of the blessed Matrona of Moscow and the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia. Concelebrating with His Eminence were Archbishop Gregory of Mozhaisk, Bishop Tikhon of Vidnovsky, Bishop Alexander of Dmitrov, and Bishop Georgy of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas.

Probably all those praying at the service sank into the hearts of the words of one of the prayers for the consecration of the temple, in which, in an address to the Lord, he asks: “-and establish it unshakably until the end of the age, and glorified in You, and grant us in it praise and praise without shame to bring Your glory - “And the first such doxologies and praise were offered on the same day: His Eminence Juvenal, after the consecration of the temple, celebrated the first Divine Liturgy in it.

After the consecration of the temple, work on its improvement does not stop. A fence was built around the temple, a magnificent carved iconostasis was made in the baptismal church in honor of St. John the Baptist, which was consecrated by Archbishop Gregory on March 18, 2007.

Architect, exterior decoration, architectural ensemble

The Church of the Nativity of Christ in Mytishchi is the center of the architectural complex, which in addition to it includes a wooden church and a Sunday school building.

Temple of the Entry into the Temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The first religious building, built on a vacant lot in the center of Mytishchi, is a temple consecrated in the name of the feast of the Entry into the Temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The small wooden church belongs to the oldest cage type of temple.

It consists of a central cage covered with a gable roof, above the center of which rises a quadrangle with a drum topped with an onion-shaped head. In the eastern rectangular porch there is an altar. In an identical structure, adjacent to the central part on the western side, there is a vestibule overlooking the open porch.

Church of the Nativity of Christ

The stone church, built according to the design of the architect N.F. Rakhmanov, is a cross-domed five-domed temple, with a high basement, an open walkway and spacious mezzanines. It is a stepped structure, gradually growing and tapering towards the center. The walls and vaults of the building are made of red brick and covered with white facade plaster.

The central part of the temple is an octagon with alternating wide and narrow edges. At its center is a wide light drum topped with a bulbous head. Four identical smaller drums are located above the narrow edges of the base.

The wide facades of the main part are adjacent to rectangular extensions, covered with semicircular vaults, which contain the apse and vestibules. Triple arched window portals are cut into the upper parts of the eastern, southern and northern extensions.

There is an open belfry above the western porch. The arched niches on the western facade are decorated with mosaic paintings depicting the Face of the Savior, the Virgin Mary and one of the Archangels.

A wide open walkway encircles the entire perimeter of the temple. High double-sided porches descend from it. The entrance to the ground floor is located under the western porch. To provide natural light, there is a row of low arched windows that encircle the entire basement.

History of the temple

The first documentary mention of the Temple of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God dates back to 1713. Then, in the village of Mytishchi, priest Dmitry consecrated the Church of the Wonderworker Nicholas. This year is conventionally considered the time of construction of the church.

The next written mention was in 1735. At this time, the church was already called the Temple of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. A document dating back to 1735 speaks of a petition from Ivan Fedorov and the elder Trofimov for permission to replace the wooden floor in the church with a new stone one. The request was granted. In parallel with the replacement of gender, the restructuring of the thrones was carried out.

In 1814, due to the destruction of time, a decision was made to replace the wooden buildings with the refectory and bell tower. Two years later, the rector of the parish, Dmitry Fedorov, makes a request to the archbishop of the diocese to build the dismantled premises. The new refectory and bell tower of the church were built in 1819.

The temple gradually expanded. In 1832, a chapel was added to the church on the north side, named in honor of St. Nicholas. In 1898, the construction of the border of St. Sergei of Radonezh began, following the project of Schnaubert.

Near the temple there was a cemetery for the burial of Orthodox parishioners. It was here that the nurse of Alexander 2, the Russian Emperor, Avdotya Kartseva, found her last refuge. The burials have been destroyed by time. Today, the cemetery of the Church of the Vladimir Icon in Mytishchi is completely lost.

In 1804, the first water sewerage system was built in the vicinity of Moscow. From that time on, every year at the beginning of August there was a religious procession from the Temple of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God in the direction of the Holy (Gromovsky) spring. Near the chapel, now completely destroyed, a liturgy and blessing of water were held.

At the beginning of 1906, the temple of the Perlovsky village was annexed to the church, which is why the staff was increased (before that the shrine was considered one-person). Since 1912, Father Nikolai became the rector, who was inspired by the idea of building a parochial school. Fundraising has begun. In 1914, the institution, built according to Poezdeev’s architectural design, opened its doors to the people. Father Nikolai taught at the school of God's Law for children. Conversations on missionary topics and meetings of the temperance society were also held within its walls.

In 1929, the initiation of the closure of the temple began. A huge number of parishioners gathered outside the church to protest. People dispersed only after receiving promises that the parish would not be closed. At the same time, the abbots of the temple, Sergei Ilyinsky and Sergei Levshina, were exiled to a camp on Solovki.

Conversations around the closure of the church took place again in 1930. It was not possible to completely stop the work of the monastery, but the shrine succumbed to desecration. The largest bell was removed, the chapel was demolished, and part of the structure was taken over by storage facilities. In 1935, the church building was handed over to the Renovationists.

In 1941, part of the bell tower was demolished for military reasons (there were fears that it could become a landmark during the bombing of a plant in the vicinity of Podlipki). The following year the temple ceases its work. The building is used for the repair of fire service vehicles, and then as a supply base.

The shrine was completely rebuilt, losing its outer church façade. Only a small part of the protruding apse and the figure of eight above the elevation of the temple indicated that there had once been an abode of God here.

During the Soviet era, the church served as a warehouse. The return of the temple to believers took place in 1991. The church was headed by Abbot Alexander, who is currently serving as Bishop of Dmitrievsky. The same priest in 1994 became the head of the Mytishchi deanery.

The first service after a long period of closure took place in May 1991. In the same year, restoration work began to restore the appearance and interior decoration of the Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, completed in 1995.

In 1999 (timed to coincide with the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ), construction of a new bell tower began. Work on it lasted about a year. The main goal was to create an exact copy using drawings from the time. The dome was raised and consecrated on November 5, 1999.

Today, the bell tower is dominated by a silver dome, as well as a spire and a cross. The current rector of the temple is Archpriest Dmitry Olovyannikov. On the territory of the church there is a children's Sunday school, teaching everyone about the Law of God.

Interior decoration

The Church of the Nativity of Christ in Mytishchi has two floors. On the ground floor there are administrative and utility rooms, as well as the lower baptismal church, consecrated in the name of the Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord John. Its main decoration is a two-tier carved iconostasis, most of the details of which are decorated with gilding.

The top floor consists of two tiers. In the upper part there are spacious choirs, fenced with carved wooden railings. All the walls and vaults of the prayer hall are covered with paintings depicting biblical scenes, the faces of holy primates and floral ornaments separating individual scenes. In addition to paintings, the walls are decorated with icons placed in carved frames.

There are three chapels in the upper church:

in honor of the Nativity of Christ (main);
in honor of the Council of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia (southern);
in the name of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow (northern).

In 2015, a Sunday school building was built next to the Church of the Nativity.

After this, he decided to pitch a tent on the banks of the Moscow River and gather a “conversation,” that is, a military council. Here the governors and princes developed a battle plan, and in the fall of 1380 they completely defeated the khan’s hordes.

Returning to Moscow, Dmitry Donskoy ordered to erect the Church of the Nativity of Christ with the chapels of Demetrius of Thessaloniki, Theodore Stratelates and St. Theodosius in the place where he had held a “conversation” in the spring - in memory of the glorious victory. And the village began to be called Besedy.
