Church of the Epiphany

In my opinion, the best church in the city. Quiet place, beautiful old temple. A wonderful abbot.

If you walk in the city center and go down from the Church of the Intercession to the embankment along the 25-year-old street (the old name is Malaya Bogoyavlenskaya) among the houses of the private sector you can see a miniature church - the Church of the Epiphany of the Lord. In Peter's times, there was a Pushkar settlement in this area - the Pushkars lived ... The present stone building of the church belongs to the building of 1763. And so before that (since 1647) there was a wooden church, but it burned several times. In the 1930s, the temple was closed, and the building was handed over to the plant, a sewing workshop was located here. Since the beginning of 2000, the temple has been under restoration. Divine services are already taking place here! The church is small and cozy !!! Interesting architecture. The dome is unusual for the Orthodox Church. Handsomely!

At the Epiphany Church there is the Sergius of Radonezh Foundation, which helps people cope with addictions such as drug addiction and alcoholism.

Three times a week I pass by this temple. The appearance of the temple suggests that he is looking forward to repair. The adjoining of the roof to the wall of the altar is an especially acute problem. The morning frosts began, it was getting colder, and the little temple was so ... Like an orphan. Piercing.

A beautiful old temple, and when the restoration is completed, it will be even better. Lord, save this city and your people ...
