Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo
- parish church, also known as the Church of the Origin of the Honest Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord. Brief summary
History[edit]
According to archival documents, the parish church of the All-Merciful Savior - the Origin of the Honest Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord in the village of Kuskovo was first mentioned in 1510. Its ensemble also included a bell tower and a church wing. As for the land, there were only 33 acres at the Temple, “these lands are in the undisputed possession of the clergy.” Of these, “about seven dessiatines” were leased for the Sheremetev estate. All owners of the estate regularly paid ruga (rent).
In 1737-1739, Count Pyotr Borisovich Sheremetev, with the blessing of the Holy Synod, rebuilt the parish church of the All-Merciful Savior from a wooden three-altar church to a stone single altar church.
The temple had a rich interior decoration, including a unique carved iconostasis with precious stones and pearls.
From 1739 until the 30s of the 20th century, the Church remained a parish church. St. Philaret Drozdov, now canonized, St. Innocent Veniaminov, the enlightener of the Aleuts and Siberia, now canonized, and St. Macarius of Nevsky, now canonized, performed divine services in it.
While visiting the Sheremetev estate, royal persons also prayed in the Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo, among them: Empresses Elizaveta Petrovna and Catherine II, Emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II with their heir.
There is information that Empress Elizaveta Petrovna, who had an estate in neighboring Perovo, personally embroidered airs and covers for the Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo.
Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna and Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich also prayed in the Temple.
Soon after the revolution, the Sheremetev estate was nationalized and a museum was organized in it. The Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo, which was closed in 1930, was transferred to his jurisdiction.
During Soviet times, the Temple was used as an auxiliary building for the needs of the museum.
In 1991, the parish church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo was opened to museum visitors as the “house church of the Kuskovo estate.”
In 1992, by decree of His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II, Priest Igor Chekharin was appointed acting rector of the newly opened Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo, and in the same year a local religious organization was registered: the Orthodox Parish of the Temple of the Origin of the Honest Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord in Kuskovo. Moscow.
On August 14, 1998, Bishop Alexy (Frolov) of Orekhovo-Zuevsky performed the rite of minor consecration of the Temple. At the same time, the Temple remained under the jurisdiction of the museum, and therefore it was not possible to hold regular services.
On July 11, 2000, the Temple was orphaned. A terrible tragedy happened. The rector of the Temple, Priest Igor Chekharin, was killed.
In November 2000, Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II appointed mitred Archpriest Boris Tokarev as rector of the Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo with the responsibility of carrying out regular services and services in the said church.
Since November 2000, regular services and services began in the parish church of the All-Merciful Savior - the Origin of the Honest Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord.
With God's help and the efforts of the rector, on December 7, 2010, the Temple was transferred to the fold of the Russian Orthodox Church.
For the first time in 80 years, in 2011, in the Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo, Bishop Alexander (Agrikov) celebrated the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.
Since 2013, every year on the patronal feast of the Temple, the ruling bishop, Bishop of Orekhovo-Zuevsky Panteleimon (Shatov), celebrates the Divine Liturgy.
So on August 14, 2015, on the Feast of the Origin of the Venerable Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, Bishop Panteleimon, who administers the Eastern Vicariate of Moscow, led the liturgy for the patronal feast day in the parish Church of the All-Merciful Savior in Kuskovo.
Concelebrating with him was the rector of the church, Archpriest Boris Tokarev. After the Liturgy, Bishop Panteleimon with the clergy and parishioners of the temple performed the procession and the rite of consecration of the new honey harvest.
According to the tradition of the Temple, on the patronal feast day, as well as on great and locally revered holidays, after the Procession of the Cross, doves are released into the sky.

Milestones of history
Everyone knows the name of this temple, but not everyone knows the history with which the appearance of this great holiday is associated. The temple was named after him at one time. The main holiday of the founding of this temple is the erection of the Cross of the Lord , which is traditionally celebrated every year September 27 or 14 according to the old calendar. This holiday first appeared in the 14th century, when the holy cross was discovered.
This happened by order of Emperor Constantine, when his mother Helen went in search of the holy tree from which this cross was carved. Excavations were carried out not far from the execution site. There they found several nails and strange inscriptions that testified to events long gone in the past. Soon they found the cross of the Lord. Its miraculous properties manifested themselves when a woman who was near death was suddenly healed by touching him. People began to worship the cross, and thus, the holiday of the salvation of the cross was formed, in honor of the return of the shrine to the holy lands of Jerusalem. This happened on September 14, when they began to celebrate this great holiday.
The holiday is the twentieth and has a rich history. It is customary to celebrate it not just for one day, but for a whole week. Typically, holy liturgies and chants are held from September 13 to September 21.

Patronal holidays
The main patronal holiday is celebrated in honor of the All-Merciful Savior on August 14 of each year. The indicated date is determined about 900 years ago. It is associated with the battle of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky and the Volga Bulgars, when omens came from the icons of Jesus Christ, the Holy Cross and the Mother of God.
In the second half of the 12th century, Prince Andrei fought with the Volga Bulgars, who lived near the Kama and the middle Volga. He was a deeply religious person. In battles he counted more on the help of the Almighty, and not on the courage of his troops. Before this campaign, he read prayers with members of the squad, asking for support from God and the condescension of the Mother of God.
The prince defeated the enemy, in honor of which a thanksgiving liturgy was held. During it, the icon of the Mother of God began to glow with bright rays that illuminated the army. In order to perpetuate the memory of superiority over the enemy and the magic that happened, it was decided to celebrate the feast of the All-Merciful Savior and the Most Holy Theotokos every year.
The news about the introduction of the holiday was sent to Constantinople. It became known that on August 1, 1164 (old style), the Byzantine emperor Komnenos Manuel defeated the Saranians. And during the thanksgiving service, a similar sign appeared to him: the icon of Jesus Christ emitted bright rays of light. This holiday was established in the Russian and Constantinople churches.
The essence of the holiday of the All-Merciful Savior lies not so much in honoring the victory and the magic that happened, but in love for the Lord. Christians are confident that the Almighty is favorable to every person in the world. By the time of the Honey Savior, the honeycombs are full, so beekeepers begin collecting honey.
According to customs, from August 14th you can try this product, which was the main attribute of the festive table.
Honey made from hops was drunk at feasts. With its use, many drinks without alcohol were prepared, gingerbread was baked with the addition of honey, and nuts were also mixed with it. Ancestors believed that it had healing properties.
The Honey Savior also had the name of the Savior on the Water. So it was named in honor of the church rite of the small consecration of water. In August, new wells were consecrated in Rus', and old ones were also cleaned. Orthodox Christians joined a religious procession to a river or reservoir to bless the water. After that, they took a dip themselves and washed all the domestic animals.
This was done in order to get rid of sins and improve health. After Macabei, swimming is not allowed as summer comes to an end, the water becomes dirty and the rooks are about to fly away. For the villagers, intense summer work in the fields begins.
The common people are preparing plots of land for storing grain, buildings for a new harvest, and agricultural land for winter crops. The Resurrection of Lazarus, which is celebrated on April 20, and the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary on October 14, are also considered a patronal feast.
