Tserkov' Smolenskoy Ikony Bozhiyey Materi

Nice sky blue church inside the cemetery, the interiors as the exteriors and grounds of the temple are very alluring.

The chapel and temple of Xenia the Blessed is located in the Smolenskoye cemetery. The chapel is placed at the burial place of the Holy. Believers from all over the country come to her to pray and ask for different needs. By faith will be rewarded to all in their needs. As in life, Ksenia helped all those in need, and now she does not leave anyone who comes with prayer and with need for it. People bring flowers. And on the street there is a small drawer for requests. There are always small pieces of paper and pens for this. If you come to Xenia in the chapel, then be sure to go to the museum. It is very close, FREE, completely not tiring, just inspiring! Well done, those who opened this wonderful, small museum! Beside Eduard Gil, Lyudmila Petrovna Senchina is buried (owners of the purest voice), it’s easy to find (they are at the beginning of the cemetery, if you go to the main entrance), then go to Anna Samokhina quite far. For this reason, I was able to see this grave only in the third or fourth visit to the Smolensk cemetery. To find the grave of Anna Samokhina, you can go from the main entrance (from Kama Street) and go along the alley, which is parallel to the central one on the left side. Going nowhere, turning 10-15 minutes. There is already easy to see it - a noticeable monument by the path. May God protect you! From the metro station Vasileostrovskaya there is a minibus 249.

I read some unflattering reviews here and was very surprised. I did not see anything negative from the one described in the negative reviews. I visited the temple several times, I will still come. Here, in a special way, peacefully and calmly. Once, prior to the beginning of the evening service, in spite of all his busyness, he devoted time to me, listened carefully and then helped me in solving a very important and difficult life issue for me. And not only a word helped! I will always gratefully remember. And to those who left not very good comments here, I wish to be kinder and more tolerant. Live with faith in goodness. May God protect you!

She lived nearby, went into the temple to put candles and mood put your thoughts in order. Never stayed in the service until the end and could not stand there even an hour, unfortunately, she did not feel either warmth or prayer in the temple. Exceptions: icons of Xenia the Blessed and the Mother of God.

The bridge offers a gorgeous view
