Church in the name of Saint Prince Vladimir

was built in 1785 at the city cemetery behind the Nizhny Novgorod outpost. The temple did not close during Soviet times; since the 1930s it has been the only functioning temple in Vladimir.

History[edit]

The Prince Vladimir Church was built in honor of the Holy Equal to the Apostles Prince Vladimir, the baptist of Rus'. Erected in 1785 at the expense of the townspeople, as a temple at a country cemetery.

In 1891, the church was insulated, a new iconostasis was installed, and the walls of the main church were painted.

“There are currently three thrones in it: in the present one in the name of the saint. Equal to the Apostles Prince Vladimir, in the aisles: 1) in the name of the righteous Simeon the God-Receiver and Anna the Prophetess and 2) in the name of St. much Adrian and Natalia. The church enjoys interest on the capital of 1470 rubles. The clergy staff is as follows: a priest and two psalm-readers. Its contents are: interest on the capital of 4460 rubles donated for eternal remembrance, and income from services and corrections - in total up to 1500 rubles. per year. The clergyman lives in a church house built in 1879.” /Historical and statistical description of churches and parishes of the Vladimir diocese. 1896/

On February 29, 1895, the diocesan architect, junior engineer of the construction department of the provincial government, Nikolai Koritsky, drew his design for the bell tower of the Prince Vladimir Church. They decided to dedicate the bell tower to the memory of Emperors Alexander II and Alexander III. In the summer of 1895, the project was approved in St. Petersburg. The construction was headed by Nikolai Koritsky himself, to help whom a construction committee was elected from among well-known philanthropists and public figures.

On September 13, 1897, Timofey Bochenkov, a contractor involved in the construction of the bell tower of the Prince Vladimir Church, complained to the city duma about the delay in payment for construction work. He indicated that all of his reasonable claims received “disputing denials” from all members of the construction committee. Such an economic dispute arose around a charitable cause just two years after the doctor of medicine Vasily Yeltsinsky was laid to rest in a cemetery near the church.

The construction of the bell tower cost 5940 rubles. 10 kopecks, of which 657 rubles. materials were donated by philanthropic merchants. The contractor carried out the work so quickly that they did not have time to pay him. The demands were probably satisfied.

“One way or another, by the fall of 1897, the cemetery church was decorated with a new bell tower - tall and stately, of good proportions, with a clear and expressive “classical” decor, consistent with the building of the Prince Vladimir Church itself,” writes a senior researcher at the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum. reserve Tatyana Timofeeva.

By the fall of 1897, the cemetery church was decorated with a new bell tower - the same one that we see today. Only at first it stood separately, and later it was connected to the main volume of the temple.

The Prince Vladimir Church is the only church in the city built in the spirit of classicism. Services in the temple did not stop even during Soviet times. The Church, which has come down to us without significant restructuring, has three altars: in the name of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir; in the name of the righteous Simeon the God-Receiver and Anna the Prophetess and in the name of the holy martyrs Adrian and Natalia. According to legend, the temple stands on the site of the sacred Kuzyavka grove in the former Yarilova Valley; here in pre-Christian times the idol of Yarila stood and pagan rituals were performed.

In August 1905, the Vladimir City Cemetery Trusteeship was opened. The main task is to streamline the economic management of the cemetery in Vladimir. According to its Charter, it should have been alien to any commercial enterprises; collecting capital and saving it for some unspecified purposes should not be its task. Everything should be aimed at achieving one goal - to improve the situation of the cemetery and, using the funds collected, to bring it into a state that would both satisfy the aesthetic requirements of the relatives of the deceased and comply with the requirements of the law.

New history of the Vladimir Church in Starosadsky Lane

In the 17th century, the monastery was completely remodeled. The building was dismantled down to the lower tier and rebuilt. At the temple there also appeared a bell tower and several new chapels in honor of the sons of Prince Vladimir: one - Borisoglebsky, the other - dedicated to Kirik and Iulita.

Until 1711, there was an almshouse attached to the Church of St. Vladimir in Starye Sadekh, where up to 88 sick and elderly people received their sight. Later the almshouse will be closed. Today there is a clergy house on this site.

In 1737, the temple burned, after which the building was restored. The fire of 1812 did not miss the building either.

Each time, as a result of restoration, the appearance of the shrine changed: the 17th century bell tower was rebuilt, the temple kokoshniks were dismantled. Today's temple, square in plan, hardly resembles the previous ancient building. Only part of the lower tier and the southern portal remained from the project of Aleviz Fryazin.

The Vladimir Church has long celebrated the day of the Beheading - the main holiday of the Ivanovo Monastery, located nearby. Earlier on this day, near the Church of St. Vladimir in the Old Gardens, the so-called. wool fair.

The temple was open all day, as a large number of visiting merchants gathered together and held prayer services with the proceeds. As a result, already in the morning there were so many people in the church building that it was almost impossible to get inside.

The holiday lasted 2 days. During this time, the priest served about 800 prayer services.

At the end of the 19th century, fairs were no longer held near the temple, but out of habit, people gathered for prayer services on the holiday for a long time.

A beautiful temple where an evil demon was cast out from an almshouse

I walked quite extensively in these places in June 2016.

It’s impossible to count how many old Soviet films have been dismantled into quotes. When I looked at this temple, I was reminded of a quote from the immortal work of Georgy Nikolaevich Vasiliev (1899–1946) and Sergei Dmitrievich Vasiliev (1900–1959) “Chapaev”: “The whites came and robbed, the reds came and robbed, well, where can a peasant go?” ?

Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev has nothing to do with the temple, but the catchphrase quite accurately reflects the attitude of various authorities towards the temple.

The Grand Duke of Moscow and Vladimir since 1389, Vasily I Dmitrievich (1371 - 1425), built the Vladimir Church at the beginning of the 15th century, mention of which is found in his spiritual charter in 1417.

But his descendant Vasily III Ivanovich (1479–1533) demolished it, and at his order a new stone church was built by the architect Aleviz Novy. It was in vain that the Grand Duke did this, because many of Aleviz’s creations were, after some time, demolished by ungrateful descendants, this happened with the Church of St. Barbara, and this happened with the Church of St. Vladimir.

For a long time, there was a Patriarchal almshouse attached to the church, where up to 88 male and female people lived. “In 1666” in the Patriarchal women's almshouse in Kulichki, due to the action of some sorcerer, a demon settled... Sovereign Alexei Mikhailovich ordered the clergy to perform a prayer rite in the almshouse to exorcise the unclean spirit. But all attempts were unsuccessful: the demon convicted the worshipers of their sins and shamed them, instilling fear in them...”

Then the Emperor blessed St. Hilarion to cast out the unclean spirit. “ For seven weeks the ascetic struggled with the demon, diligently saying prayers, blessing water and sprinkling it everywhere. Little by little, through the prayers of Father Hilarion, the unclean one was expelled from the almshouse and never showed up there again..."

In 1670–1680, a new church building was built on the site of the Alevizov temple. The construction was sponsored by the family of steward Ivan Ivanovich Verderevsky.

In 1711, the almshouse was closed, and in its place a two-story clergy house was built. But misfortunes continued to befall the temple. In 1718, the roofs burned down, but these were only flowers, the berries were ahead. During the Great (Trinity) Fire on the holiday of Trinity on May 29 (June 9), 1737, when 3,000 houses and almost 100 churches burned down, the Vladimir Church also burned down. If Empress Anna Ioannovna took care of the palace and cathedral churches and, by her decree of June 22, 1737, ordered restoration at the expense of the treasury, then the restoration of this temple fell again on the shoulders of the Verderevsky family. It’s a shame to even talk about little things like repairing rickety crosses after the storm of 1787. For the year 1812 was approaching. In addition to the church, 16 houses of parishioners burned down.

The church was closed and they even wanted to demolish it. Various forces entered the struggle.

In 1722, the Moscow Spiritual Consistory appeared in Moscow: “The Spiritual Consistory is a public place through which, under the direct supervision of the diocesan bishop, administration and spiritual court are carried out in the local limit of the Orthodox Russian Church, called a diocese.” This is how Vladimir Alekseevich Gilyarovsky ironically spoke about the consistory in his book “Moscow and Muscovites”: “

“Officials received a pittance salary and subsisted solely on bribes. This was done completely openly. Rural priests brought cartloads of bribes to officials' apartments, in the form of flour and livestock, while Moscow priests paid in cash. Bribes were given by deacons, sextons, sextons and students who graduated from an academy or seminary and were given positions as priests.”

“Above the consistory was the Holy Synod. It was located in St. Petersburg in a building under arches, as well as the Governing Senate, also in a building under arches. Hence the joke: “The blindest synod and the robbing Senate live on gifts.”

In fact, on June 16 (28), 1811, Bishop of the Orthodox Russian Church Augustine (in the world - Alexey Vasilyevich Vinogradsky, 1766–1819) became the ruling bishop of the Moscow diocese. In July 1813, the actual state councilor Mikhail Volynsky turned to Bishop Augustine with a proposal that it was necessary to wait for the restoration of the parishioners' buildings, and then again make the Church of St. Vladimir a parish and it would be inappropriate to destroy the ancient temple. The Moscow Spiritual Consistory decided that the Vladimir Church, “as if it was completely unnecessary, which will forever remain without a parish,” needs to be dismantled, especially since there are many better preserved churches nearby where parishioners can be transferred. But Volynsky was supported in the Commission on the Structure of Moscow, formed in Moscow in 1813 to eliminate the consequences of the fire of 1812, which decided “according to the rules established by the Commission for regulation, the said church cannot be demolished” and in the Holy Synod.

The church was not demolished and already on October 19, 1819, the restored main temple was re-consecrated. Two more chapels were consecrated later - in November 1819 and 1827.

What the Consistory could not do, the Soviet government almost failed to do. On March 23, 1933, a decree was issued by the Presidium of the Moscow Regional Executive Committee to close the temple; in 1937, the church began to be dismantled. Five domes were dismantled and the interior was destroyed, but then the destruction was stopped and the building was transferred to the Historical Library.

And again, like centuries ago, a fire in 1980 destroyed the remains of the unique frescoes of the church.

In 1991, the first liturgy took place in the temple returned to the believers, but the restoration of the temple continued for many years.

Church after the revolution and today

In 1933, the church on Starosadsky Lane was closed and began to be dismantled. The temple domes were destroyed and the interior decoration was destroyed. If local security authorities had not intervened, the historical monument would probably have been demolished.

The building was transferred to the Historical Library, and soon the library reserve fund was located here. However, in 1980 there was a fire in the temple. All the books were burned. The fire did not spare the remains of the temple's paintings.

In 1990, the external finishing work of the Vladimir shrine was completed. The temple was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. A year later, the first liturgy after a long break was held in the building. Worship services resumed only in 1998.

The Church of St. Prince Vladimir in the Old Gardens (Sadekh) is located at the address: Moscow, Starosadsky Lane, 11, building 2 (Kitay-Gorod metro station).
