Temple in the name of St. Nina equal to the apostles will be built on the Don

It is not for nothing that Rostov-on-Don is called the gateway to the North Caucasus. Representatives of almost all nationalities living in the country and neighboring countries live in this city, the largest city in the south of Russia. There are also many representatives of the Georgian diaspora in the Don capital. It was on her initiative that in 2012 a parish was founded in Rostov in the name of St. Nina (Nino), an enlightener of Georgia, who preached faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in the ancient land of Colchis. Until now, on the territory of this Rostov parish, there was only a temporary temple, equipped in 2012 ..

Next Sunday, March 8, at the parish of St. Nina, the rite of consecration of the foundation stone of the future capital church of St. Nina will take place. The first stone in the foundation of the shrine will be laid by the Metropolitan of Rostov and Novocherkassk Mercury. The ceremony will be attended by representatives of the authorities of Rostov and the Rostov region, as well as the Georgian national-cultural autonomy 'Vardzia' headed by the rector of the Don State Technical University Besarion Meskhi. Together they will offer a prayer that the future temple will be built on time and serve long.

A stone church in the name of the venerated Orthodox saint will be erected on the banks of the Northern Reservoir, at 123 Bodraya Street. Thus, thousands of residents of the Northern Residential Area - the largest in the Don capital - will be able to visit the temple located within walking distance from the house in the future.
