Храм Рождества Христова в Измайлово

A very beautiful temple. But the women working in it behave like salespeople in a Soviet store.

One star is even a lot for this place. I wanted to baptize my daughter there, since we live very close. But I had to (fortunately) choose another place where the attitude towards people is kinder. My godmother and I came to find out how and with whom to agree on baptism. On the territory a certain person spoke very rudely to us (I don’t know either the position or the name), said to come to 12.30 on certain days. We came to 12. 30 (with the baby in her arms, there was no one to leave her with and we really hoped that the conversation would be short-lived, or I could leave the godmother alone and go out with the baby), but there was nobody anywhere. Nobody could find Batiushka for about 15 minutes, everyone we met talked either distantly or rudely (there was no time for everyone). Then, by some miracle, it turned out that the priest was already talking on the second floor with the door locked (we previously knocked on it, but he didn’t even open it). We knocked and wanted to clarify whether we could join (it’s strange, because we weren’t late and there is even a paper hanging below that says that the talks are at 12.30), we’re a priest (I’m sorry, I don’t know by name, with red hair, I think he’s there one) said very rudely "who are you anyway? Why are you late? And in general, I should not hold discussions today, today is an Orthodox holiday!" And the oil painting, the priest is sitting at the pulpit and poor people are sitting in front of him, a married couple, or maybe these are future godparents, bowing their heads, as if executed, the priest apparently carries them to pieces. Well, thank God, we ran away from there and chose again (where we baptized the eldest daughter, the Church of All Saints Alekseevsky Stavropegial Convent on Krasnoselskaya), a wonderful place. Where we were again very cordially welcomed, the conversation was held on the street (as the priest suggested), very meek and some very unobtrusive. Baptized there perfectly. After a couple of days, I tell my friend about this incident with the priest who drove us away, she says - we had a conversation with him and it was a nightmare - kept her, mother and her infant for 2 hours in a stuffy room and did not allow me to go out to feed (you have time to say) . This is normal? Like this. He would have told me so, of course, I would put it in its place, but God took it away.

The only operating bell tower in Izmailovo, Full Temple of believers

Temple of Kostroma masters, on the lands of the Romanovs. Very rare, not diverted, Temple! Very popular with residents. Sunday school for children .... All the priests are very sincere - not a single grabber ... Rector - Archpriest Leonid - just God's Man !!!! Great choir. Miraculous icons. Stones of the 17th century! Even Muslims revere this Temple and priests .....

The temple is amazingly gracious, as they say ,, prayed ,,. Ancient icons remember the prayers of the elder John Krestyankin, who served here for many years. Beyond the threshold remains the external and internal vanity. Thoughts gradually stop their flow. There is silence inside. Immersed in prayer with your heart. And there is nothing but your personal fellowship with God, the Mother of God and the Holy Fathers ... Leaving the temple for a long time you do not want to say, so as not to spill out the gift of grace, peace and peace with words. This condition remains as a reward from visiting this wonderful Temple of the Nativity of Christ.
