Temple of the Icon of the Mother of God “Life-Giving Source”

built in the 18th century in the Elizabethan Baroque style. The temple is located on the territory of the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. It is part of the Tsaritsyn Palace and Park Ensemble.

History[edit]

The church in Tsaritsyn, located on the territory of the palace and park ensemble of the late 18th century, was built long before the construction of the palace as the parish church of the “Blessed Virgin Mary of the Life-Giving Spring.”

It is known that in 1633 the Black Dirt estate was acquired by boyar A.S. Streshnev, and in 1680 it was inherited by his grandson Prince A.S. Golitsyn, under whom the estate was superbly equipped and an extensive farm was established.

The Streshnev boyars built a wooden church, about which in the inventory books of the Golitsyn princes it is said: “... about five chapters, covered with scales of greenery, painted with three colors, .. in front of the church there is a chopped wooden bell tower, painted with different paints.”

In 1689, with the fall of Princess Sophia, her favorite Prince Vasily Golitsyn fell into disgrace, and with him his son and grandson A.S. Streshnevs. Golitsyn, and their estates were taken to the treasury “for their guilt.”

In 1713, the estate “Black Dirt” was donated by Peter I to the Moldavian ruler Dmitry Konstantinovich Cantemir “for special services to the fatherland” in the fight against the Turks, the same famous Cantemir, whose three hundredth anniversary was celebrated by UNESCO in 1973, an outstanding linguist, philosopher, an architect, archaeologist, musician and mathematician who knew several languages, incl. Turkish and Persian, and who managed the office of Peter I during the Persian campaign.

In 1722, Cantemir built a stone church in the Petrine Baroque style on the site of a wooden church. In 1759-1765 the church was rebuilt by his son and heir M.D. Kantemir. The temple served as the tomb of the family. In 1771, on November 30, Prince M. D. Cantemir was buried, and later his wife Princess A. Ya. Cantemir.

In 1775, Catherine II bought the Black Dirt estate from the Kantemirovs and renamed it the village of Tsaritsyno. The Empress instructed the architect V.I. Bazhenov to draw up and implement a project for her country residence on the purchased estate. When drawing up the project for the palace complex, Bazhenov retained the Cantemir Church as an element in the ensemble of estate buildings.

At the end of the 19th century. the church was rebuilt again with the money of A.I. Klementovich, the owner of one of the dachas located in Tsaritsyn, as well as with public funds collected for this purpose. The refectory was expanded, for which it actually had to be rebuilt, a chapel was added in the name of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God, and the bell tower was moved and increased in height (up to 4 tiers).

The church operated as a parish until 1939, when it was closed for non-payment of debts. After closing, the church building was converted into a transformer booth in the 1970s. - for a printing house, and from 1975 to 1990. it housed the carpentry workshop SNRM-3 at the Union of Soyuzrestavratsiya, with heavy woodworking machines, the work of which severely damaged the building itself (cracks appeared in the walls and domes) and the wall paintings of the temple.

In 1990, the Church of the Mother of God Life-Giving Spring was transferred to the use of the community of believers, and a rector, Archpriest, was appointed. Georgy Breev and services resumed on October 6.

According to the inventory of the village of Tsaritsyno and from the recollections of old parishioners of the temple, it is known that there were two wooden houses near the church in which the priests lived. One of them, located very close to the church, was demolished by carpentry workers and a brick house was built in its place and foundation, now transferred to the use of the church.

A little about the construction of the shrine

As the name implies, the temple is consecrated in honor of the Life-Giving Spring. History says that in the 5th century, near Constantinople, there was a grove dedicated to the Virgin Mary. And there was a source that was considered miraculous. The Mother of God herself pointed out the location of this source to people.

Everyone who came to this source received healing from serious illnesses. In gratitude for the healing received, people first fenced the spring with a stone fence, and a little later they built a small church. It was sent to everyone who sincerely asked for help in healing.

This area did not get its name right away. Under Catherine II, Prince Golitsyn was the owner of the site where the church was built. In the years when there were Streltsy riots, it was taken away and it went to the treasury. It should be noted that the temple was originally built of wood, and it passed from one owner to another.

Of course, everyone rebuilt it a little and used it as a family tomb. And only when the site became the property of the Empress, the site was completely rebuilt. At that time, they changed its name to “Tsaritsyno”. Her summer residence was located on this territory.

Like many other churches, it was closed in 1939. After closing, a transformer booth was first placed in it, after which it housed a printing house and even a woodworking workshop. It is not surprising that the building could not withstand such tests and began to collapse a little. And only in the early 90s was the church in Tsaritsyn returned to Orthodox believers. In the same year, work began on its restoration.

Today the temple is open and fully functioning. In addition to holding services in the Tsaritsyno temple, there is a church library here, which contains a wide variety of rare books. It can be visited not only by those who study in Sunday school, but also by any interested parishioner.
