2 October 2020
In the Moscow City of Artists, which is on Verkhnyaya Maslovka, a church was consecrated in the name of the great Russian icon painter, glorified by the church - the Monk Andrei Rublev. The wooden church, designed for two hundred people simultaneously praying, was overflowing with believers in the early morning of October 1. The rite of great consecration was performed here by the Bishop of Naro-Fominsk Paramon. Божественная литургия в день Великого освящения храма The temple in the name of the Reverend Andrei Rublev began to be built with private donations in 2016 as part of the capital's 'Program 200'. As soon as the temple under construction was consecrated with a small rank, services began to be regularly performed in it. And now the great consecration of the church has taken place, which, according to the church charter, can only be performed by a bishop. Bishop Paramon conveyed the blessing of the Primate of the Russian Church to the church community, which, according to its rector, Archpriest Vladimir Leonov, is 80% painters. Many of the parishioners of the new church took a personal part in decorating its interior, others donated funds for the temple from the sale of paintings. “We didn’t have anchor sponsors, everything was done by our own efforts,” the father-rector emphasized. Naro-Fominsk The bishop compared the consecration of the church to the birthday of a person and emphasized that this was an important event not only for the existing parish, but also for the entire 'City of Artists' on Maslovka, as well as the surrounding area of Moscow. “Our city is adorned with pearl temples where, perhaps, there have never been temples. They become a place for the rest of the soul, exhausted and thirsty for communion with God, ”Vladyka Paramon noted in his archpastoral speech. At the end of the liturgy, which took place immediately after the rite of consecration, church awards were presented to those who worked especially hard in the work of church building. In particular, the rector of the parish, Father Vladimir Leonov, was awarded the Order of St. Andrew the Icon Painter of the III degree. The headman of the church and the former chairman of the parish council, Lydia Tayozhnaya, was awarded the patriarch's diploma. In an interview with a RIA Novosti correspondent, Lydia Tayozhnaya recalled that the path to the current consecration of the temple was not easy. Parish activists defended the site on which the city authorities first wanted to build another business center, then they collected signatures under the petition to the patriarch to consecrate the temple in honor of the Reverend Andrei Rublev (there were more than three thousand signed up) - and everything, by the grace of the Lord God, ended well.
