Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia in Butovo

built in 2007. Located opposite the territory of the former NKVD-KGB training ground, officially recognized as the site of mass graves of victims of political repression.

History[[edit]h2>

Near the place where mass executions and burials of victims took place from 1935 to the early 1950s, the Orthodox Church of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia was built in Butovo. In 1994, on Radonitsa, on the site of the construction of the future temple, a wooden cross was erected; on May 5, 1994, with a large gathering of Orthodox clergy, the place where Russian martyrs were executed for the faith was consecrated.

In 1995, the burial area with an area of ​​about 6 hectares was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church, and through the efforts of the community created from the relatives of the victims, a small wooden church was built here and the improvement of the burial began. On May 15, 2004, at the site of the foundation stone of the future cathedral, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus' celebrated a memorial service. The first official delegation of the ROCOR, headed by its First Hierarch, Metropolitan Laurus (Shkurla), who was in Russia from May 15 to May 28, 2004, was present at the service. Within a year, the main stage of capital construction of the temple was completed, and on May 28, 2005, Patriarch Alexy II consecrated the cross, which was installed on the main dome of the temple. On December 11, 2006, a minor consecration of the temple took place, coinciding with the day of remembrance of the New Martyr Metropolitan Seraphim (Chichagov). The consecration of the cathedral stone church in Butovo took place on May 19, 2007, two days after the signing of the act of reunification of the Russian Church Abroad with the Mother Church.

The first floor of the temple is dedicated to the memory of the suffering of the new martyrs. In the narthex of the temple on the walls there are pre-mortem photographs of the victims in Butovo. On two display cases under the photographs there are things taken from the burial ditch during the 1997 excavation - shoes, clothing items, rubber gloves, shell casings and bullets. There are more than fifty icons of Butovo saints on the walls. On the two western pillars are placed six icons of the hierarchs who suffered in Butovo, headed by Metropolitan Seraphim (Chichagov).

Temple shrines

In the Church of the Nativity of Christ in Chernev there is a revered icon of St. Demetrius of Rostov. St. D. Rostovsky has been one of the most beloved saints in Rus' since ancient times.


Prayers to the saint help with mental deficiency or clouding, with respiratory diseases, with fever and fever. The saint heals those suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system, helps people possessed by demons, as well as those who are under the influence of evil spirits.

Orthodox Christians turn to the Revered Icon of D. Rostovsky, located in Chernev, with the hope of speedy healing and help, and the saint helps believers through their sincere, tearful prayers.

In the Church of the Nativity of Christ in Chernev, special services are held on the days of St. Demetrius of Rostov, which are celebrated three times a year:

  1. May 23/June 5.
  2. September 21/October 4.
  3. October 28/November 10.

Architecture[[edit]h2>

The Church of the Resurrection of Christ and the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Butovo site was built in the tradition of tent architecture. The closest in appearance is the wooden three-tent cathedral in Kemi, which to some extent was the prototype of the temple in Butovo.

The architect M.Yu. Kesler proposed an original solution: to slightly deepen the foundation of the temple and sprinkle the western part of the temple with earth to create the impression of a hill. Now, to get to the reliquary, you need to go down the stairs, as is usually done when descending into the crypt, where the remains of saints are kept in Greek temples.

The first floor of the temple is dedicated to the memory of the suffering of the new martyrs and confessors of Russia. In the narthex of the temple on the walls there are pre-mortem photographs of the victims in Butovo. In the lower floor of the temple complex there is a reliquary with the remains of personal belongings, utensils, and vestments of the New Martyrs. There are more than fifty icons of Butovo saints on the walls. On the two western pillars are placed six icons of the hierarchs who suffered in Butovo, headed by Metropolitan Seraphim (Chichagov).

On the bell tower of the temple there is a large set of bells cast at the Tutaevsky Bell Factory. The bells also depict the faces of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, including the Royal Passion-Bearers.

Interior decoration

During the period of desolation and inactivity of the temple, all its internal contents were completely plundered. The roof and walls became dilapidated and collapsed, icons and all church equipment were hopelessly lost. The restoration of the church in Chernev began in the early 90s, already in a completely different country.


Iconostasis of the Church of the Nativity in Chernevo

The restoration of the temple in Chernev took place throughout the Orthodox world. The reconstruction of the interior was carried out according to documents from the Yuzhnoye Butovo History Museum. Some of the original things from the Chernevsky Church were returned, and the collection of icons is being replenished to this day.

All the handwritten decoration of the temple and the main iconostasis were made by artists from the art workshop of St. A. Pechersky in the period from 2004 to 2005. A special place in the church is occupied by the Revered Icon of St. D. Rostovsky. In the church, since its restoration, the throne of the Mother of God “Kazan Mother of God” was recreated.

Saints[[edit]h2>

The Butovo site is a real shrine with relics: out of more than 20 thousand who died here, 330 Butovo New Martyrs were canonized. The host of clergy who suffered here for their faith is led by seven bishops: a metropolitan, two archbishops and four bishops. Along with them, many archimandrites, archpriests, abbots, hieromonks, priests, deacons and hierodeacons, monastics and ordinary employees of the Church were shot.

The patron of the Temple is the holy martyr Seraphim Chichagov. From the first days of the construction of the temple, special patronage of this work was noticed by Bishop Seraphim (Chichagov), Metropolitan of Petrograd, who was shot at the training ground in Butovo on December 11, 1937. By that time, the metropolitan had not yet been canonized, but his holy help was felt by those who were involved in the construction of the temple at the burial site.

On December 11, 1995, a cross was erected over the temple, and exactly a year later, on the day of the execution of Metropolitan Seraphim and 126 other people sentenced to death by the UNKVD Troika, the wooden temple was consecrated. The active organizer of the temple was the granddaughter of the metropolitan, the abbess of the Novodevichy Convent being recreated at that time - Mother Seraphima (in the world Varvara Vasilyevna Chichagova-Chernaya, a famous chemist, doctor of sciences, professor).
