Temple of Saints Zosima and Savvaty in Golyanovo

- Orthodox Church of the Resurrection Deanery of the Moscow Diocese. The temple is located in the Golyanovo area, the Eastern administrative district of Moscow.

History[edit]

The first mention of the village, which received its name from the minnow fish, which was found in abundance in local reservoirs, dates back to the 60s of the 17th century, when Golyanovo was the patrimony of Tsar Alexy Mikhailovich Romanov. The ancient Khomutovskaya road passed through it, going from Moscow to the “grand-ducal boarders” on the Klyazma River. Its exact name was: “Pokrovskoe, Vasiltsov district, camp of the Radonezh tithe.” Close to this time, a wooden church was built in Golyanov in honor of the Monks Zosima and Savvaty of Solovetsky wonderworkers. Apparently, its developer was Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich himself. The temple received “bread ruba” (maintenance) from the village of Pokrovskoye. It is also testified that the temple was endowed with “a tithe of arable land and a tithe of mowing land”; these incomes supported the temple and its clergy. Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich also built a candle factory in Golyanov. Since the construction of the temple in honor of the Solovetsky saints Zosima and Savvaty, Golyanov can no longer be treated as a village, but only as a village.

In the 60s of the 17th century (1662), the parish consisted of 58 households, and this included not only the residents of Golyanov, but also the peasants of neighboring villages - Chernitsyno, Abramtsevo, Kobylino.

Golyanovo and the surrounding villages were already under the jurisdiction of the Main Palace Chancellery. But since it was not a profitable estate, by the beginning of the 19th century the village ended up in the hands of private owners. In 1805, Golyanovo was acquired by a certain Sergeev, and since 1811 it was listed under the court councilor Prince I.N. Trubetskoy. The latter’s estate also included the surrounding villages: Abramtsevo, Lukino, Sukovo and the former palace village - Nikolskoye.

After the Patriotic War of 1812 and the plunder by the French of the main estate of the Trubetskoy princes in Govorovo, Ivan Nikolaevich Trubetskoy and his wife, Natalya Sergeevna (nee Princess Meshcherskaya), moved to quiet Golyanovo. With the move of the Trubetskoy princes, life began to boil in Golyanov. A park was laid out around the estate in Golyanov and a huge reservoir was created. By 1816, Golyanovo became the center of the Trubetskoy estate and officially received the status of a village. At the same time, instead of a wooden church, Rev. Zosima and Savvaty, a brick church was erected, which was consecrated in 1842. The landowners Trubetskoy were not only the main investors, but also the builders of the temple. The church had two parts - the cold part of the temple, or the summer church (the quadrangle with a throne in honor of the Monks Zosima and Savvaty of Solovetsky), and the winter chapel - the refectory part of the temple, with a throne in honor of Sts. martyrs Adrian and Natalia. A stone chapel was erected on the site of the old wooden church. The church was built in the Empire style - late classicism. The refectory part of the temple so far had only one chapel in honor of the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia; where the “Life-Giving Spring” altar is now located, a living spring flowed. By the end of the 19th century, the Trubetskoy estate was already listed as the name of the Balashikha Manufactory Partnership. In 1872, a huge plot measuring 2,653 dessiatines, which included the villages of Golyanovo, Nikolskoye and other surrounding villages, was sold to the merchant A.N. Pribilof. Near Golyanov there was Venedikt Vedeneev’s brick factory and a weaving and dyeing establishment. The former royal candle factory continued to operate here, only under the supervision of the Moscow Diocesan Department.

In the 30s of the 20th century, a pig-breeding state farm named after the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution was created in Golyanov. The Soviet transformations of this time also affected the church: the temple was closed, and the premises were given over to a pasta factory, with all the ensuing consequences. In 1960, Golyanovo became part of Moscow, and by the early 70s it fell into the zone of mass housing development. Until the last moment, the temple building remained in Golyanov the only valuable building of the first quarter of the 19th century.

On March 31, 1990, after 75 years of destruction and desecration, the Church of St. Zosima and Savvaty was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. The building stood without a dome, with a destroyed altar apse, with a crater instead of a floor in the quadrangle, with a headless bell tower. From the storage and use of chemicals for experiments on rabbits and rats on the walls, not only was there no painting preserved, there was no plaster itself, the brick itself had to be cut one and a half meters from the floor, because it was all etched with chemicals, and there was no plaster, much less painting , they couldn’t stay on it. When the temple was adapted for a pasta factory, in order not to install a factory chimney, the bell tower of the temple was adapted to exhaust smoke, having first dismantled its dome. In addition, the slag from the furnaces was not removed for decades, but was dumped directly on the territory. And when the temple was given to the Church, no less than one hundred and twenty carloads of “cultural soil” had to be removed from the territory of the temple (and this is in Moscow!).

The temple presented an indescribable sight. It was possible to enter it only through the window, which is now in the altar of the chapel of the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia; In the same place where the “Life-Giving Spring” throne is now, no altar in the temple has ever existed at any time. In its place was a recess from a gushing source, which was equipped with a kind of brick ceiling, and the entrance to the source was a hole: anyone who wanted to draw from the source could only do this by approaching it on their knees. (A baptistery was subsequently erected on the site of the source.) In place of the quadrangle, instead of a dome, there was a vault of heaven, and instead of a floor, there was a crater. From the very top, where the dome should have started, to the bottom of a funnel dug in the floor, an iron structure of incredible size descended, which could only be lifted with a powerful crane. The altar apse of the main altar was destroyed.

A cleanup day was scheduled for March 31, 1990 (the day the keys were accepted). The population was notified in advance about the cleanup. Over the course of two days and three nights, a temporary iconostasis was built. People's help did not dry up all week, but the results are obvious: despite the unspeakable, even horrific destruction, in one week the ruins of the temple were adapted for Divine services. On March 31, the keys were accepted, and on the evening of April 6, the first All-Night Vigil was served, on the feast of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos. On the very day of the holiday in the morning, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Pimen, a small (priestly) consecration of the throne was performed in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Life-Giving Source” and the first Divine Liturgy was celebrated.

Spiritual and educational activities

In addition to regular services, the Church of St. Zosima and Savvaty is actively engaged not only in educational, but also in social activities. As already mentioned, a Sunday school is open at the church, where everyone can enroll, regardless of age. Those who have vocal talent can become members of a church choir or simply attend a singing group. Every weekend, choristers sing at ceremonial or memorial services.

On Sundays, after the second Divine Liturgy, the current rector Roman Bogdasarov holds conversations with parishioners. They discuss current issues, news in the world of Orthodoxy, church charter, as well as the annual schedule of services.

There is a youth club at the Golyanovskaya church. Like-minded people regularly meet there and hold various discussions on religious topics or discuss current life issues.

The temple helps low-income and large families, provides humanitarian assistance to the poor, disabled, and lonely old people. Since February 2021, the church has been the spiritual center of the Russian Guard - it is engaged in the care of the capital's military personnel.

The temple operates a pilgrimage service that conducts excursions to the holy places of Russia and neighboring countries.

In recent years, the temple has been transformed before our eyes. The walls of the temple rose from the ruins, the majestic bell tower again rushed to the sky and with its chimes invites people to the temple to glorify God.
