The territory of the diocese is 47,612 square meters. km., population of the territory - 472,329 people. (as of 01/01/2016)

Story

It arose in 1924 to counteract renovationism[2].

In August 1928, at a meeting of the initiative group that met in the Sretenskaya Church of Cherepovets with the blessing of Archbishop Alexy (Simansky), a district vicariate council was formed. The decision of the initiative group was of considerable importance for the organization of structures and the legalization of the Patriarchal Church. Canonical unity with the Novgorod diocese was demonstrated. The new organization was called “Temporary Cherepovets District Vicariate Council of the Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate, with the rights of a semi-independent vicariate”[3].

In September 1931, the district Vicariate Council of the Cherepovets Diocese of the Patriarchal Church was transformed into the Cherepovets Diocesan Council, which, after the arrest of the ruling bishop, was headed by Bishop Valerian (Rudich) of Kirillov, vicar of the Novgorod Diocese[3].

In 1935, the Cherepovets diocese included the parishes of Cherepovets, Kirillovsky, Belozersky and a number of other districts. During the Great Terror, the punitive authorities falsified the discovery of a “counter-revolutionary rebel organization of churchmen” on the territory of the diocese. In the case of this mythical organization in Leningrad on October 9, 1937, 100 people were actually shot - clergy, nuns and laymen[4]. With the formation of the Vologda region (September 23, 1937), which included the districts that made up the Cherepovets diocese, the Troika was created in Vologda on October 31, 1937 under the regional administration of the NKVD - it completed the destruction of the clergy of the Cherepovets diocese. After 1937, the department was not replaced. It was officially abolished in 1943 when the diocesan structure changed.

On October 23, 2014, by decision of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Cherepovets diocese was restored by separating its territory from the Vologda diocese. At the same time, it was included in the newly formed Vologda Metropolis[1].

The Veliky Ustyug diocese has 3 deaneries and 2 cathedrals

The Veliky Ustyug diocese includes such districts as Velikoustyugsky, Babushkinsky, Nikolsky, Totemsky, Nyuksensky, Tarnogsky and others. The ruling bishop is Bishop Tarasy, who has the title of Veliky Ustyug and Totemsky.

The Diocese of Veliky Ustyug has 3 deaneries. There are two cathedrals in the diocese.

Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ in the city of Totma

The cathedral was built in two stages, like most Totem temples. In the 40s of the 18th century, the lower warm temple was built, and after another 40 years a slender summer church was erected above it.

Unfortunately, the free-standing bell tower has not survived. The lower temple looks rather modest.

Assumption Cathedral in Veliky Ustyug

The cathedral is considered one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is located on the Cathedral Courtyard, in the oldest part of the city. The temple was originally built in 1619, and it was made of stone. But a little later it burned down and was dismantled.

Assumption Cathedral in Veliky Ustyug, Veliky Ustyug diocese. The cathedral is considered one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is located on the Cathedral Courtyard, in the oldest part of the city.

The modern building was built from 1639 to 1658. It was rebuilt many times. This cathedral can be said to reflect the features of a variety of architectural styles.

The main volume of the cathedral is cubic. The cathedral once had four pillars, but after one of the reconstructions in the 18th century, it lost two pillars. On the east of the cathedral there is a bell tower, while one of the towers has a spire, and the other ends simply with a dome.

Since 1682, the cathedral served as a cathedral. Tarasius of Veliky Ustyug and Totemsky very often performs divine liturgies there. The temple also served as a burial place for bishops. Their images are preserved on the walls of the cathedral.

Keep up with the times

Now it is extremely difficult to overestimate the importance of using the latest information technologies in any type of activity.
First of all, this applies to the Church, which bears enormous responsibility for the moral education of the people. Today people are burdened with numerous difficulties and obstacles to true spiritual improvement, generated by the high rhythm of life and a lot of information leading to degradation. That is why it is extremely important to keep up with the times and be constantly close to the person. The good news is that the Church is succeeding in this. The presence of a website allows you not only to get acquainted with various news from the life of the Church, but also to provide information about an upcoming event, talk about the biography of clergy, as, for example, was done on the website of the Cherepovets Diocese. Many photographs posted online attract great attention and allow you to see live how church life actually goes. Thus, all this provides comprehensive information so that a person always remains in touch and is charged with positive emotions.

An excerpt characterizing the Cherepovets diocese

– Here’s another friend, Bolkonsky, do you see, mom? - Natasha said, pointing to Prince Andrei. – Remember, he spent the night with us in Otradnoye. - Oh, do you know him? - said Peronskaya. - Hate. Il fait a present la pluie et le beau temps. [It now determines whether the weather is rainy or good. (French proverb meaning that he is successful.)] And such pride that there are no boundaries! I followed my daddy's lead. And I contacted Speransky, they are writing some projects. Look how the ladies are treated! “She’s talking to him, but he’s turned away,” she said, pointing at him. “I would have beaten him if he had treated me the way he treated these ladies.” Suddenly everything began to move, the crowd began to speak, moved, moved apart again, and between the two parted rows, at the sound of music playing, the sovereign entered. The master and hostess followed him. The Emperor walked quickly, bowing to the right and left, as if trying to quickly get rid of this first minute of the meeting. The musicians played Polskoy, known then by the words composed on it. These words began: “Alexander, Elizabeth, you delight us...” The Emperor walked into the living room, the crowd poured to the doors; several faces with changed expressions hurriedly walked back and forth. The crowd again fled from the doors of the living room, in which the sovereign appeared, talking with the hostess. Some young man with a confused look stepped on the ladies, asking them to move aside. Some ladies with faces expressing complete obliviousness to all conditions of the world, spoiling their toilets, pressed forward. The men began to approach the ladies and form Polish pairs. Everything parted, and the sovereign, smiling and leading the mistress of the house by the hand, walked out of the living room door. Behind him came the owner with M.A. Naryshkina, then envoys, ministers, various generals, whom Peronskaya kept calling. More than half of the ladies had gentlemen and were going or preparing to go to Polskaya. Natasha felt that she remained with her mother and Sonya among the minority of ladies who were pushed to the wall and not taken in Polskaya. She stood with her slender arms hanging down, and with her slightly defined chest rising steadily, holding her breath, her shining, frightened eyes looked ahead of her, with an expression of readiness for the greatest joy and the greatest sorrow. She was not interested in either the sovereign or all the important persons to whom Peronskaya pointed out - she had one thought: “is it really possible that no one will come up to me, will I really not dance among the first, will all these men who are now not notice me?” It seems that they don’t even see me, and if they look at me, they look with such an expression as if they were saying: Ah! it's not her, there's nothing to watch. No, this cannot be! - she thought. “They should know how much I want to dance, how great I am at dancing, and how much fun it will be for them to dance with me.” The sounds of the Polish, which continued for quite a long time, were already beginning to sound sad - a memory in Natasha’s ears. She wanted to cry. Peronskaya moved away from them. The Count was at the other end of the hall, the Countess, Sonya and she stood alone as if in a forest in this alien crowd, uninteresting and unnecessary to anyone. Prince Andrey walked past them with some lady, obviously not recognizing them. Handsome Anatole, smiling, said something to the lady he was leading, and looked at Natasha’s face with the same look as one looks at the walls. Boris walked past them twice and turned away each time. Berg and his wife, who were not dancing, approached them. Natasha found this family bonding here at the ball offensive, as if there was no other place for family conversations except at the ball. She did not listen or look at Vera, who was telling her something about her green dress. Finally, the sovereign stopped next to his last lady (he was dancing with three), the music stopped; the preoccupied adjutant ran towards the Rostovs, asking them to step aside somewhere else, although they were standing against the wall, and the distinct, cautious and fascinatingly measured sounds of a waltz were heard from the choir. The Emperor looked at the audience with a smile. A minute passed and no one had started yet. The adjutant manager approached Countess Bezukhova and invited her. She raised her hand, smiling, and placed it, without looking at him, on the adjutant’s shoulder. The adjutant manager, a master of his craft, confidently, slowly and measuredly, hugging his lady tightly, set off with her first on a glide path, along the edge of the circle, at the corner of the hall, he picked up her left hand, turned it, and because of the ever-accelerating sounds of the music, only measured ones were heard the clicks of the spurs of the adjutant’s quick and dexterous legs, and every three beats at the turn, his lady’s fluttering velvet dress seemed to flare up. Natasha looked at them and was ready to cry that it was not she who was dancing this first round of the waltz. Prince Andrei, in his colonel's white (cavalry) uniform, in stockings and shoes, lively and cheerful, stood in the front rows of the circle, not far from the Rostovs. Baron Firgof spoke with him about tomorrow's supposed first meeting of the State Council. Prince Andrei, as a person close to Speransky and participating in the work of the legislative commission, could give correct information about the meeting tomorrow, about which there were various rumors. But he did not listen to what Firgof told him, and looked first at the sovereign, then at the gentlemen who were getting ready to dance, who did not dare to join the circle. Prince Andrei observed these gentlemen and ladies timid in the presence of the sovereign, dying with desire to be invited. Pierre walked up to Prince Andrei and grabbed his hand. – You always dance. There is my protegee [favorite], young Rostova, invite her,” he said. - Where? – asked Bolkonsky. “Sorry,” he said, turning to the baron, “we’ll finish this conversation somewhere else, but we have to dance at the ball.” “He stepped forward in the direction that Pierre pointed out to him. Natasha’s desperate, frozen face caught the eye of Prince Andrei. He recognized her, guessed her feeling, realized that she was a beginner, remembered her conversation at the window and with a cheerful expression on his face approached Countess Rostova. “Let me introduce you to my daughter,” said the countess, blushing. “I have the pleasure of being an acquaintance, if the countess remembers me,” said Prince Andrei with a polite and low bow, completely contradicting Peronskaya’s remarks about his rudeness, approaching Natasha and raising his hand to hug her waist even before he finished the invitation to dance. He suggested a waltz tour. That frozen expression on Natasha’s face, ready for despair and delight, suddenly lit up with a happy, grateful, childish smile. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” as if this frightened and happy girl said, with her smile that appeared behind the ready tears, raising her hand on Prince Andrei’s shoulder. They were the second couple to enter the circle. Prince Andrey was one of the best dancers of his time. Natasha danced superbly. Her feet in ballroom satin shoes quickly, easily and independently of her did their job, and her face shone with the delight of happiness. Her bare neck and arms were thin and ugly. Compared to Helen's shoulders, her shoulders were thin, her breasts were vague, her arms were thin; but Helen already seemed to have varnish from all the thousands of glances sliding over her body, and Natasha seemed like a girl who had been exposed for the first time, and who would have been very ashamed of it if she had not been assured that it was so necessary. Prince Andrey loved to dance, and wanting to quickly get rid of the political and intelligent conversations with which everyone turned to him, and wanting to quickly break this annoying circle of embarrassment formed by the presence of the sovereign, he went to dance and chose Natasha, because Pierre pointed him out to her and because she was the first of the pretty women to come into his sight; but as soon as he embraced this thin, mobile figure, and she moved so close to him and smiled so close to him, the wine of her charm went to his head: he felt revived and rejuvenated when, catching his breath and leaving her, he stopped and began to look on the dancers.
