    Tips

    October 13, 2022

    On its consecration day of May 13, 1913, the church was visited by the former royal figure Grand-Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. A granddaughter of Queen Victoria and an older sister of Alexandra, the last Russian Empress, Elisabeth became famous in Russian society for her beauty and charitable works among the poor. After the Socialist Revolutionary Party's Combat Organization assassinated her husband with a bomb in 1905, Elisabeth publicly forgave Sergei's murderer, Ivan Kalyayev, and campaigned without success for him to be pardoned. She then departed the Imperial Court and became a nun, founding the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent dedicated to helping the downtrodden of Moscow. In 1918 she was arrested and ultimately murdered by the Bolsheviks.

      The church was built in 1913 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the tsar Romanov dynasty.
