Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul at the Yauza Gate

(on Kulishki) - Orthodox church of the Intercession Deanery of the Moscow City Diocese. Metochion of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'; Metochion of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

History[edit]

The temple on this site has been there since ancient times and had the name “Peter and Paul Tall, on the Hill.” The first stone church was commemorated in 1631. Evidence has been preserved that His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Adrian in March 1693 held a funeral service for Vassa Stroganov in the church. With the blessing of His Holiness, a house church in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was built in the parish of the Peter and Paul Church, built in 1698 at the house of General Fyodor Golovin (“stone with ringing”).

1882

With the blessing of His Holiness the Patriarch, the old stone church was dismantled and a new one was built in 1700-1702, which still stands to this day. The main altar of the new church was consecrated in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “The Sign”, and for the old altar in the name of St. ap. Peter and Paul on the north side arranged a special warm winter limit. The patrons and temple builders of the new church were old parishioners from the Eropkin and Kolychev families. The main expenses were covered by Vasilisa Eropkina. The issuance of the antimension to the newly built church took place on January 1, 1702. The architectural style of the new temple belongs to the “Moscow Baroque”.

In 1731, a special Kazan border was built in the church on the southern side and the temple became three-altar. The throne was consecrated on October 13, 1731 by the archpriest of the Great Assumption Cathedral, Ioann Maximov. The temple was badly damaged by the Moscow fire of 1748, but was quickly restored with the help of parishioners. A significant event in the Peter and Paul Parish was the construction in 1771 of a new three-tier bell tower, which took a long time to construct due to the plague epidemic and strict quarantine. From the entry of Apoleon's hordes into Moscow, looting and fires in 1812, the temple itself suffered less than the nearest churches, and after consecration two parish churches were temporarily assigned to it (St. Nicholas in Podkopayi and the Three Saints in Kulishki). The church buildings and the clergy's own houses were all burned. There were never apartment buildings near the church, but clergy lived in church buildings on church land. Of the currently existing buildings, in chronological order, the following were built: in 1830 - a stone 2-story priest's house with mezzanines. Rebuilt in 1888 according to the design of V.N. Korneev; in 1853 according to the design of the architect N.N. Elagin built a 2-story stone deacon's house; in 1879, according to the design of the architect S. Sonin, a 2-story building was built - the house of the sexton and prosphyr.

After the revolution, a real threat of closure hung over the temple, because... this was demanded by the local detachment of pioneers, calling for the transfer of the temple building to their needs. Despite many resolutions of Soviet authorities, by the grace of God the temple was not closed. There was no renovationist schism in the church either. On Easter 1946, immediately after the end of the night liturgy, the long-time rector of the church, Archpriest Arkady Ponomarev, beloved by the parishioners, quietly died in the altar. In 1948, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy I of Moscow and All Rus', a courtyard of the Serbian Orthodox Church was opened at the temple, which actually did not begin to operate for political reasons. By decree of His Holiness Patriach of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II of December 31, 1999, the Church of St. ap. Peter and Paul was transformed into the Patriarchal Metochion, at which the representation of the Serbian Orthodox Church was resumed.

Concerts and posters 2022

Having a rich history and being, first of all, a place for prayer, the cathedral, like many Lutheran churches in Europe and Russia, performs another important function - it regularly hosts concerts and special events. Among them:

concerts of organ music (everyone knows the unique sound of the organ under the arches of the temple),
season tickets for families,
vocal evenings of singers and composers, etc.

The Lutheran Cathedral of Peter and Paul, being the main stronghold of this branch of religion in the capital, receives the largest number of orders for such events and has its own constant wide audience.

Poster of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Moscow for March 2022

Interestingly, the events are not only evening, but also at night, which gives a special atmosphere of mystery. For example, concerts of music by W. Mozart or I. Bach. If a vocal evening is announced, then only the best soloists of Moscow and other cities are invited. Many of them are soloists of theaters and even operas.

Ticket prices for events start from 700–800 rubles. and reaches 4,000 rubles. However, the emotions that viewers receive from the acoustics and sound of the organ are incomparable. The halls of the cathedral are always full both at events and services.

Temple of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul of the Russian Submarine Fleet in Sestroretsk

Sestroretsk, Petrovskaya embankment, 1

The first wooden church in Sestroretsk was built during the life of Peter I at the beginning of the 18th century. It was erected from stone in 1781. The construction used materials that remained from the destroyed palace of the emperor in an oak grove. In the middle of the 19th century, the church burned down, and exactly 100 years later - in 1871 - a new church was founded in the center of Sestroretsk with funds from Alexander II, the Synod and donations from citizens. But this building also has not survived to this day. In the 1930s, the cathedral was destroyed and a school was built in its place.

In the 2000s, the church was restored. This is a completely new building: the consecration of the site for the restoration of the temple took place in 2002, and the building was laid only in 2004. The temple was erected in memory of Russian submariners: according to legend, in Lake Razliv, peasant Efim Nikonov showed Emperor Peter I a “hidden ship” - a prototype of a submarine. The ceremonial consecration of the church took place in the presence of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.

The temple was built according to the design of E. F. Shapovalova with a slight stylization of ancient Russian church architecture.

Brief history of our community

In May 1992, the chapel building, part of the cathedral complex, was transferred to the community, adapted for the needs of the workshops of the Filmstrip studio located in it. The liberation of the premises from the interfloor covering and restoration work, which began in October of the same year, was carried out by two teams of volunteers from the United States. The chapel was consecrated at Easter 1993, and construction work was finally completed in October of the same year. Regular Sunday services were held in the chapel until the fall of 1998.

In July 1992, by decree of the Moscow Government, the cathedral building was transferred to the community, then in several stages several more buildings of the complex. However, problems arose with the resettlement of the Filmstrip, which were resolved only by mid-1997. At the same time, funds were raised both among our parishioners and among fellow believers in Europe, which made it possible to begin restoration work in the altar area towards the end of the same year cathedral, where a church hall with 200 seats was equipped, consecrated on the first Sunday of October 1998. Services were held in this hall until the summer of 2004.

Due to lack of funds, it seemed impossible to even think about restoring the cathedral to its original condition. However, pre-restoration work was carried out to dismantle the communications remaining after the Filmstrip. With the support of the city, a new electrical substation was installed, the insulating layer of the vaults and the roof were replaced, and the western façade with the main entrance and the Gothic rose window were restored based on old photographs.

In 2004 the situation changed. What can only be called a miracle of God happened. After much effort, we managed to find sponsors both among individuals and organizations. This made it possible in the summer of that year to begin large-scale work to restore the cathedral in its historical appearance, while taking into account modern technical requirements. During the period of work, the community had to return to the chapel premises. Many parishioners did not believe in the possibility of restoration, but there were many who understood that temporary inconveniences were nothing compared to the final result. During the period from 2004 to 2008, the hall was cleared of ceilings and partitions, the ceiling, walls and badly damaged columns were restored. The gallery that was destroyed by Filmstrip was restored, encircling the perimeter of the hall, new doors were made and the remaining ones were restored, heated floors were installed under a new marble covering, a restored organ was installed, stained glass windows appeared in the windows of the altar, and oak benches were installed. In addition, very large-scale (although not conspicuous) so-called “hidden” work was carried out to restore and waterproof basements, install heating and ventilation systems, and electrical equipment. The area surrounding the cathedral has also undergone significant changes. In the yard, many years of asphalt layers were removed, as a result of which its level dropped almost to the level of 1905.

On December 18, 2005, on the centenary of the first consecration, Bishop Siegfried Springer rededicated the altar. On November 30, 2008, on the 1st Sunday of Advent, the consecration of the cathedral took place during a solemn service. In January 2010, the spire was completely restored, its height was 62 meters.
