Temple of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Businovo

- an Orthodox church belonging to the Znamensky deanery of the Moscow city diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church.

History[edit]

The first information about the temple in the village of Businovo dates back to 1584. According to legend, this place was blessed by St. Sergius of Radonezh, passing from the Trinity Monastery (the current Trinity-Sergius Lavra) to Moscow to see Metropolitan Alexy. In the 16th century, a wooden church was built on this site in honor of the Great Martyr George the Victorious, which was dismantled due to dilapidation in 1623.

In 1643, a new wooden church was built on the old church site in the name of St. Sergius.

1934

By 1763, the residents of the village of Businovo and the village of Khimki, having become state-owned, lived freer and richer than the neighboring lordly peasants. In addition to arable farming, they were engaged in various crafts and transportation.

In the 1770-80s, the peasants rebuilt their church using their own funds.

The War of 1812 also affected these places. Businovsky peasants put up worthy resistance to the enemy, two of the villagers were killed in battle.

By the middle of the 19th century. The wooden church in Businovo became very dilapidated and in 1859, at the expense of the Vladimir merchant Ivan Andreevich Busurin and Prince Nikolai Ivanovich Obolensky, a stone church with three chapels was built. The main altar is consecrated in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh, the southern one - in the name of the Nativity of the Prophet and Baptist John the Savior, the northern one - in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

In 1937, the temple was closed, the dome and bell tower were dismantled. From that time on, the church of St. Sergiya practically did not operate; its official closure took place in 1940. During Soviet times, the building was extensively rebuilt; it was given over to a factory for sewing mattresses.

After the demolition of the village, the church building was not used, stood open and was destroyed. An industrial zone came close to the church. The Businka and Likhoborka rivers were enclosed in a pipe.

In 1990, the church building was transferred to the Orthodox community, work began on the restoration of the temple, and parish life began to be revived. A year later, on July 18, 1991, on the day of the discovery of the relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the church.

History of the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh on Izhorskaya Street

In the War of 1812, Businovo suffered greatly. Peasants took part in the battles, many were killed. The holy building was also damaged.

By the middle of the 19th century, the Church of Sergius of Radonezh was very dilapidated and unsuitable for worship.

In 1859, Vladimir merchant I.A. Busurin and Prince N.I. Obolsky provided funds for the construction of a stone church with a main altar in honor of St. Sergius. Vladislav Gruzdin becomes the architect of the new shrine.

A stone temple is being erected next to a wooden church, in a cemetery. The old church building is being demolished and a chapel is being built in its place.

Article for the newspaper “What will happen to Moscow”, No. 5 (05) 2014

This year marks the 700th anniversary of the birth of Sergius of Radonezh. Today, during the fratricidal war in Ukraine, it is so important to remember the words of one of the most revered Russian saints: “We will be saved by love and unity.” And it’s time to remember that very close to us, at the very beginning of Izhorskaya Street, in Businovo, is the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh. There are quite a few churches in Moscow named after the “Wonderworker of All Russia”. However, it is the temple named after him in Businovo that is the most striking example of how many miracles and signs can be revealed on one small hill, lost on the outskirts of the capital. For example, here, according to rumor, the dark icon “Blessed Sky” brightens and renews itself, and the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker “cries.” The most important shrine of the temple is the six-hundred-year-old Molchenskaya Icon of the Mother of God, which is said to still heal.

It is not known for certain when a church first appeared on this site. The wooden church in Businovo, which was then the estate of the Novodevichy Convent, was mentioned only in the 16th century; the first information dates back to 1584. Tradition says that the place for the church was chosen by Sergius of Radonezh (1314–1392) himself, when he walked from the Trinity Monastery (Lavra) to Moscow to see Metropolitan Alexei. Most likely, it was then that the first wooden church was founded, later consecrated in honor of St. George the Victorious. During the interregnum, the holy place was destroyed. The Time of Troubles wiped out almost the entire village; according to the census, there is only one household with one peasant in it.

Despite everything, by 1643 the temple was being restored, and residents began to return to the village. In 1763 (according to other sources in 1770), Businovo became state-owned, which brought peasants some relief from extortions and arbitrariness. The village begins to prosper, and its residents can already afford to invest in a new church. In the 1770s-1780s the temple was rebuilt. The French occupation of 1812 hardly affected Businovo; two people died in skirmishes with the enemy. By 1854, the wooden church had become very dilapidated, and a decision was made to build a stone church. The money was given by the wealthy peasant Ivan Busurin, and the project was commissioned from civil engineer Gruzdin. In 1858, the temple was consecrated in the name of Sergius of Radonezh.

After the revolution, the Businovsky temple suffered the common fate of the Russian people. By 1937, at the peak of the bloody repressions carried out by the Communist Party, like the neighboring Znamensky Church in Khovrino, the Church of Sergius of Radonezh was closed. The dome and bell tower were dismantled. In the remaining “stump” various economic services were located. After the Great Patriotic War, when the German army stopped 1.5 kilometers from Businovo, the area began to turn into an industrial zone, and a factory for sewing mattresses was “inhabited” in the former church building itself.

After the reconstruction of the Moscow Ring Road in the 60s, Businovo, like neighboring Khovrino, became part of Moscow. Twenty years later, construction of a city microdistrict begins here, which, by the way, still does not have its own metro station, so you have to “run” to your neighbors. Since 1980, the temple building stood ownerless and was destroyed. In 1988, an attempt was made to open the temple, but the authorities refused; apparently, at the height of Perestroika, it was not yet warm enough for a religious thaw. The temple was transferred to the Orthodox Church only in 1992, the first liturgy there was celebrated on July 18, 1991, on the day of the discovery of the relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

A very symbolic story is also connected with the name “Sergey,” which was told to our correspondent and photojournalist by a local resident, taxi driver Alexander Alexandrovich, while writing the material. A new city legend says that on the day of the first service in the newly opened temple, a funeral, wedding and baptism took place. And the newly deceased, who was buried in the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, was called Sergei, and the child who was baptized that day was called Sergei, and the groom at the wedding was also called Sergei. This is the triple symbol on the day of the discovery of the relics of Sergius of Radonezh, the founder of the Trinity Lavra.

Help for those suffering

The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Businovo is a place where you can come and pray at any time, get advice from a spiritual mentor and just be alone with your thoughts.
Moreover, in the temple there is a separate box where you can leave a note asking for prayer for relatives and friends. Every person who feels the need to participate in the life of the church can make voluntary financial donations.

On major holidays, tables are set in the church refectory for people who cannot afford to organize a holiday for their family at their own expense. If someone cannot come to the temple in person to communicate with the priest, on the official website in a special section you can ask your question online. The church has its own library, where you can familiarize yourself with church literature.

Temple shrines

On the territory of the temple there are some Christian shrines, for the sake of a “date” with which believers travel thousands of kilometers. Among the main shrines are the following:

  • icon of the Mother of God “Blessed Heaven”;
  • Molchensk Icon of the Mother of God;
  • icon of St. Vmch. St. George the Victorious;
  • icon of the Prophet and Baptist John the Savior;
  • icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (crying);
  • Kazan Icon of the Mother of God;
  • Icon of the Mother of God “Inexhaustible Chalice”.

Icons are integral attributes of any temple. The images of saints placed here are considered to be charged with special positive energy that can positively influence a person’s health and strengthen his protective aura.

Important! Icons of the Mother of God, their meaning and how they help.

New life for the temple

Work on the restoration of the building began only in 1990, when it was transferred to the ownership of the Christian community. After lengthy repair work, the first Divine Liturgy was celebrated on July 18, 1991, and on the same day the discovery of the relics of St.
Sergius. Today the church operates successfully; not only residents of the local surroundings, but also guests from other regions often appear on its doorstep. To know the exact schedule of services, anyone can visit the official website of the temple.

The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh is a place that is visited not only by representatives of the older generation on holidays. Very young parishioners often attend church services. Some of them, imbued with divine services, enrolled in the Sunday school, which operates at the temple.

It is taught by local priests and teachers who try to convey to young minds the canons of Christian life, teach them how to pray correctly, have compassion and show mercy to their neighbors.

Important! Sunday school students and teachers often make charity trips to orphanages. On the official page you can see photo reports about the activities of this organization, as well as read articles about the future plans of Christian youth.
