    The temple was built in the period 1908 - 1913. This is one of the last Temples built before the revolution within Moscow. The consecration of the new Temple took place in 1913. Features: - The altar of the temple faces SOUTH to the Holy Land, to Jerusalem to the Holy Sepulcher and, accordingly, the name Resurrection. -The temple has 9 domes: 8 are black, and the central one is gilded. The place is prayed for. The temple was never closed after the revolution. Large icons decorate the facades of the building. There are four limits in the Temple. Of interest is the carved cypress iconostasis, made in the Greek style, not gilded. To the left of the iconostasis from the royal doors is an icon of the Iveron Mother of God, and to the right is an icon of the Ascension of Jesus Christ. Icon cases are made of bog oak. There are many ancient icons in the temple: the Mother of God of Bogolyubskaya, the icon of the Iveron Mother of God, St. Nicholas the Saint, Panteleimon the healer, etc. Icons and reliquaries were transferred to this temple from the closing and destroying churches of Moscow during the period of the atheism. - The “Healer” icon, which has changed several monasteries since the 18th century, until it remained in the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Sokolniki. This copy of the ancient image of the Mother of God has a long list of miraculous cures for serious illnesses. - Bogolyubskaya icon of the Mother of God, taken from the Varvarsky Gate of the city in Moscow, where it had been located since the time of Peter I. It is believed that this image also heals and protects from diseases. - Iveron Icon of the Mother of God - a copy of an icon brought from Mount Athos in the 17th century. by order of Patriarch Nikon. This icon is also called the Goalkeeper and is the patroness of Moscow. - The Passionate Icon of the Mother of God is from the 17th century, transferred from the Passion Monastery specially built for her. Also miraculous and healing. More than 40 images are dedicated to the Mother of God: there are icons: “Softening Evil Hearts”, Tikhvin, Kazan, Kasperovskaya, Fedorovskaya, Smolenskaya, “Quick to Hear”, “Assuage My Sorrows”, “Pokrov”, “Joy of All Who Sorrow” (with pennies) and others . The temple also contains icons: the Great Martyr Panteleimon from the Lubyansky Gate, the Righteous Alexy, the Apostles Peter and Paul, the Martyrs Florus and Laurus, St. Nicholas, St. George the Victorious, John the Baptist, and many icons of other personalities revered by the church. More than a hundred pieces of the remains of saints and martyrs are kept in the Church of the Resurrection of Christ: these are the relics of 40 Sebastian martyrs of the 4th century, three saints (Basily the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom), evangelists, great martyrs Panteleimon, Tryphon, Marina, Saint Nicholas (about 15) and Luke Voino-Yasenetsky, Seraphim of Sarov, there is even a piece of the Tree of the Lord and many unidentified relics from different monasteries. Of particular interest is the icon of the Georgian Mother of God, which was in the chambers of Empress Anna Ioannovna. The robe of this Icon is hand-embroidered using precious stones. The icon was kept in the Alekseevsky Monastery of Krasnoe Selo and was transferred to this Temple during the period of God’s struggle. The atmosphere inside is comfortable. The people are friendly. The territory is fenced off, well-groomed, beautifully planned.

    A very beautiful temple. The Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Sokolniki was built in 1909-1913, in the Russian Art Nouveau style. The majestic (with an area of ​​960 sq.m.) and high (the height of the main dome is 34 m, the side aisles are 22 m) two-story nine-domed temple has the shape of a cross. In the 20th century the temple did not close. Now there is a Sunday school at the temple.

    Yaroslavl. A modern, recently rebuilt temple, all covered in tiles, which makes it stand out from everyone else. Instead of what was previously demolished. Magnificent iconostasis! And the image of the Mother of God of Yaroslavl. Relics of locally revered saints - princes. The bell tower is missing, but the bells are nearby, near the temple.

    Interesting place to visit. But I belive it has sence to visit the place only for religious people. What I like the most is the Icon of the God's Mother The Cure (I hope I interpreted it right, in Russian language it's written like Икона Божией Матери Целительница".

    The temple was built in the last century in 1910, with the extraordinary style that every temple and church has. Good Friday is always a difficult service on the eve of Easter. There is a youth club at the Temple, where, without lectures and moralizing, young people can communicate and perhaps find themselves in life, and tea parties are also held. I recommend everyone to visit this Temple, regardless of age and beliefs.
