Temple of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow

Nice cozy temple, but cramped. Located in the parish in honor of the Nativity of Christ. The Divine Liturgy usually begins on Sat-Sun and holidays from 7:00 in the morning. On Saturdays at 13:00 an akathist is read. Matrona Dmitrievna Nikonova was born on November 22, 1881 in the village of Sebino, Kimovsky District, Tula Region, she was the fourth child in the family. Parents Natalya and Dmitry Nikonov at first wanted to leave a blind daughter in an orphanage, but her mother changed her mind after she had an unusual dream: a white bird of extraordinary beauty, but a blind one, sat on her chest. Natalia Nikonova decided that the dream was prophetic. Already at the age of 8, Matryona healed and predicted the future. At 16, her legs were taken away. After the 1917 revolution, Matryona and her friend Lidia Yankova were left homeless and went to look for work and food in the city. Around 1925, Matryona moved to Moscow following her brothers. She lived where she had to — with friends and acquaintances, but not with her brothers, since both were communists. Among other things, she predicted her death in 3 days, continuing to receive people in her last days. She died on May 2, 1952. She was buried at Danilovsky Cemetery in Moscow; the grave has become a place of unofficial pilgrimage. In 1998, she was reburied in the territory of the Pokrovsky monastery.
