Ryazan - the city of majestic cathedrals

Lyubushka Ryazanskaya

Among the largest and most beautiful temples of Ryazan, stands the Nikolo-Yamskaya church. The style in which the building is made is a striking example of late Russian classicism. This church has a very complicated and tragic history. In 1822 a bell tower was erected that adorned the building and was visible even from the Oka. After the revolution, she was in a deplorable state. The bell tower and the iconostasis were destroyed, and all the valuables were taken out by the authorities. Then on the holy ground they were going to build a brewery and even a palace of culture. But not a single project was implemented, and the church came to an unfit state and was boarded up.

Restoration work began at the end of the last century, when the building moved into the administration of the Ryazan diocese. The consecration and the opening of the doors for the parishioners took place in 2004. The church has the biggest bell in the city, whose weight is 6 tons. Above its creation, employees of one of the Ural plants worked, engraving the icon of St. Nicholas. Here are the relics of Lyubushka Ryazan, which was considered blessed. To worship the remains of the saint, pilgrims overcome enormous distances and gather from all corners of Russia.

It is worth to visit the Annunciation Ryazan Temple, the first mention of which dates back to 1626. Living at the time, Min Lykov, mentioned in his writings the holy place where the temple of the Annunciation was located. The Virgin. The church itself was rebuilt and rebuilt in 1673. In this form it has survived to this day.

A few months later, in the spring of 2009, a consecration ceremony was held, which was allocated for the construction of the Kronstadt temple in Ryazan .

In 2014, the day of the memory of John of Kronstadt, on which the Trinity fell, Patriarch Kirill arrived in the city. After the Divine Liturgy in the temple under construction, a ritual of great sanctification took place.
