This is a temple whose history began with simple open-air liturgical meetings.
At the request of the residents of the city of Korolev and under the leadership of Archpriest John, an Orthodox community was formed. She settled in the area of Cosmonauts Avenue.
At the site of the proposed temple, they installed a Cross and set up a small kiosk where everyone can purchase spiritual literature, as well as candles and icons.
Afterwards, a fence was installed around this place, as if separating the temple area.
The city administration prevented the construction of the temple because it was planned to build an ordinary residential building on this site
The Trinity Church community received its official registration only on April 3, 1999. The rector of the temple is Archpriest John Monarshek.
John Monarszek is a mitered archpriest. Name day - July 7th. It was he who was appointed rector of the Trinity Church in Korolev
In 2005, a decision was made to build a stone Trinity Church
In 2005, they decided to build a stone temple. The site was prepared and poured with concrete. All this was provided by the company of a very kind and wonderful person - Ashot Yuryevich Pogosyan.
He also donated mortar for the construction of all the walls in the future temple. The entire parish and church community expressed gratitude to him. Everyone is praying for his health and well-being.
On November 12, 2006, Archbishop Gregory of Mozhaisk laid the foundation stone for the newly built Trinity Church.
The new temple was built with donations from believers. It is only thanks to these people that the temple is open every day. The photo shows the archbishop laying the foundation stone for the future church.
In 2006, the lower church in honor of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God with the chapel of the Nativity of the Prophet John the Baptist and St. Spyridon of Trimythous was completely plastered.
In 2007, on the eve of Easter, bells were purchased for the newly built church.
Afterwards they were consecrated. Since Parental Saturday, services began to be held constantly in the lower church.
During the intervening time, the walls of the temple were built, as well as the drums for the domes. Windows were made and installed for the temple. Then they raised the vaults onto the drums.
The drums were raised to the vaults free of charge
Schedule of services
Divine services within the walls of the temple are not held daily. According to the calendar of memorable dates of the Orthodox Church, liturgies fall only on special days.
- For example, before Easter (Holy Week) services were held daily.
- In the period after the holiday, liturgies are held on Saturday (evening service at 17:00) and Sunday (at 8:00).
There is a separate schedule for holding services within the walls of the Elizabethan Church for the period of major religious holidays. This information must be clarified in advance for the day you are interested in, since the hours of services in the temple may change.
After the construction of the temple, it was completely decorated and equipped
Gradually the temple was built through joint efforts and prayers. Now every year the number of parishioners in the temple is only increasing. Not only children come to Sunday school, but also conversations with adults are held.
The Sunday school is headed by the rector of the Trinity Church, Archpriest John Monarshek.
The temple is being raised, even though the city administration was not involved at all. There are bright, beautiful flower beds around the temple, which are constantly kept clean.
It is also impossible not to say what wonderful miracles were revealed during the construction of the temple.
Once they were drilling a well and thought that the water would only be suitable for construction, but the Lord arranged it in such a way that the water became clean, so life-giving that not only residents of the city, but also the surrounding area came to drink it.
“The image of Christ the Savior not made by hands” Icon kept in the temple
Recently, the church was presented with the icon “The Image of Christ the Savior Not Made by Hands.” Many people say that this icon is miraculous. They say that the Savior's eyes are sometimes open and sometimes closed. The donated icon decorated the temple.
Also, a large icon of the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers, as well as icons of Blessed Xenia and Blessed Matrona of Moscow, were painted especially for the future church.
The rector of the temple himself also contributed his personal icon - an exact copy of the Rublevsky Holy Trinity.
It is a great joy for everyone that such a large and beautiful temple stands in this city.

Current state
The city authorities do not take part in the construction of the Orthodox shrine, but the flow of donations does not dry up, it seems that the Trinity Cathedral is being erected by the hands of the Savior.
Important! Ordinary city residents arrange the temple grounds free of charge, decorating it with living, beautiful flower beds and maintaining order.
Volunteer assistants on duty are ready to work with guests and in the church shop. From the first days of construction, the Lord emphasized His presence, for example, when drilling a well, they expected the appearance of technical water for construction and technical needs, but they received the purest spring water, which the residents of Korolev enjoy.

The temple has its own official website.
During the consecration of the temple, Archbishop Gregory of Mozhaisk read a message from Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsky and Kolomna:
“It is significant that after decades of destruction not only of churches, our national shrines, but also of human souls, in a city that previously had no place for prayer, a new Orthodox church was built in a short time.
This is truly a fruit worthy of repentance. And it is deeply symbolic that your church is consecrated in honor of the first martyr of this atheistic era, Saint Vladimir, Metropolitan of Kyiv, and also that today the Russian Orthodox Church honors the memory of All Saints who shone in the Russian land.”
Metropolitan Yuvenaly is a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church.
At the consecration of the Church of St. Vladimir, he sent a message, which was read before all the people as a parable . By leaving a comment, you accept the user agreement

Trinity Church, Korolev
The entire community prayed earnestly for the administration to make a decision to allocate land for the construction of the temple. But all our efforts seemed in vain. When we once again visited the architect of the city, he jokingly told us: “Go to Valentinovskoye Field - build there” and drew on the map where approximately the temple could be built. Our community, together with the rector of the temple, “without hesitation”, moved the Cross to Valentinovskoye Field.
It was not easy to start construction without permission from the administration; there was no money or building materials. But through the sincere and fervent prayers of the community and clergy, the Lord helped, despite obstacles from the administration and the law. The Ministry of Agriculture, namely Plemsovkhoz, allocated land for the construction of the temple and helped with its registration. There were kind people who helped in purchasing building materials. Thus began the construction of a wooden temple.
In 2003, a wooden church in the name of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity on Valentinovsky Field was built, and on July 4, 2005 it was consecrated by Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsky and Kolomna.
In the same year, under the leadership of the rector of the church, a two-story parish house was built, which housed a Sunday school for children and adults. This building houses a library with more than 1000 book publications, a video library with a TV, and two classrooms.
In 2005, a site was prepared for the construction of a new stone temple, which was filled with concrete, provided free of charge, headed by a wonderful, kind man - Ashot Yuryevich Pogosyan.
He also donated the mortar for the construction of all the walls of the temple. The entire parish sincerely expresses gratitude to him and prays for his health and well-being and his entire team. We are sincerely grateful to the director of the Ivanteevsky reinforced concrete construction complex, Vasily Ivanovich Korzhev, and the director, Nikolai Georgievich Efremov, for the concrete that was used when pouring the cushion under the temple. This was a real gift for the young parish.
On November 12, 2006, Archbishop Gregory of Mozhaisk laid the foundation stone for the newly built Trinity Church.
It is gratifying to note that the temple is being built only with donations from believers. Parishioners take turns performing obedience in the church free of charge. Thanks to them, the temple is open every day, which is very useful and beneficial for every believer.
In 2006, the lower church in honor of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God with the chapel of the Nativity of the Holy Prophet John the Baptist and St. Spyridon of Trimifunt was completely built and plastered. On the eve of Easter 2007, bells were purchased and consecrated for the stone Trinity Church under construction. In the lower church, on the eve of the holiday, Easter cakes and eggs were blessed, and from Mother's Trinity Saturday, the Divine Liturgy began to be regularly celebrated in the lower church.
Over the past period of time, the walls of the temple, drums for the domes have been built, windows have been made and installed. The vaults were raised onto drums free of charge, and the concrete for making the vaults was provided by . Trenchless construction of underground utilities was carried out; doors were installed in the temple; a heating system, heated floors of the lower and upper temples, water supply, sewerage and gas supply system, roof of the temple were installed; a bell tower, a house in which heating boilers are installed, a bathroom, and an icon shop were built; the domes were raised, bells were installed on the bell tower; The walls of the lower church were plastered.
Our joint prayer is important and useful. Every year the number of parishioners increases. They bring their children, for whom Sunday school operates, and this is the key to our future. Every Sunday, priests and students of the Moscow Theological Academy conduct classes with children. The Sunday school for adults is headed by the rector of the church, Archpriest John Monarshek.
Everything that happens in the parish is living history, where the love of our believing people for God, for the Holy Church, for their Orthodox faith is manifested. Despite the fact that the city administration does not take part in the construction, the temple is being raised. The Lord Himself controls everything and builds the temple, sending us generous donors, benefactors and good helpers in the person of ordinary believers. With their caring hands, the church territory is constantly beautified - bright flower beds are decorated around the beloved wooden church, cleanliness and order are maintained, and there are always attendants on duty in the church, to whom you can contact with any question.
In the construction of the Trinity Church, the will of God and His wondrous miracles are manifested, of which there were and are many. It is impossible to remain silent about the source given to us by God. They drilled a well and thought that the water would only be suitable for construction, washing and irrigation. But God gave us wonderful life-giving water, which many residents of the city of Korolev drink. This is a great joy for our parish and a good sign of God’s mercy.
Recently, a wonderful icon “The Image of Christ the Savior Not Made by Hands” was presented to the temple. Many people believe that it is miraculous, for the Savior’s eyes can be both open and closed. Another icon of the Savior was also donated, which decorated the temple. The following were painted especially for our church: a large icon of the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers and icons of Blessed Xenia and Blessed Matrona of Moscow.
The rector, Archpriest John Monarshek, donated his personal icon to the temple - an exact copy of the Rublevsky Holy Trinity.
It is joyful for all of us that the temple is a decoration of the city, the services performed in it sanctify the land on which our fellow countrymen live, the fervent prayers of parishioners ascend to God for all relatives, friends, neighbors, happy and disadvantaged, healthy and suffering.
The history of our time is filled with miracles, however, we must see them and sincerely thank God that He, by His grace, has not abandoned us in the twenty-first century. The words of the Savior are truly being fulfilled in our time: “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”
We sincerely thank everyone who took and is taking part in the construction of the temple and its decoration, and we promise to offer prayers to God for benefactors and helpers of the entire parish.
