Trinity Church on Borisov Ponds. Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Borisov Ponds

Moscow Church in honor of the Life-Giving Trinity in Orekhov-Borisov, patriarchal courtyard in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus' within the Moscow diocese

The Trinity Church and other buildings of the patriarchal courtyard were erected on the banks of the Borisov Ponds, in a complex but picturesque landscape. The buildings are visible from the Kashirskoe highway, from which a white stone arched building leads to the gate bell tower. pedestrian bridge.

Construction idea administrative center The Russian Orthodox Church was put forward in the year, in connection with the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus. Official permission to build a new church in Moscow became a sensation at that time. The temple was founded on June 13, 1988 in the Tsaritsyn Ponds area, near the Kashirskoye Highway. The laying of the stone at the foundation of the temple was accompanied by a divine service with the participation of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Pimen. At that time, the high priest expressed the meaning of the temple in the following words:

"So, the first stone has been laid in the foundation of the future temple, dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus', a temple in memory of all our compatriots who laid down their lives in defense of the sacred borders of our Motherland in the Patriotic Wars" .

A competition was held, in which the design of the architect Anatoly Polyansky won. The RSO was organized to build a temple in honor of the Millennium of the Baptism of Rus' (in the years Archpriest Sergius Suzdaltsev was the director), but the start of work was kept postponed. In the year Polyansky died, and then the main temple-building project of the capital was the restoration of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. As a result, construction of the temple began only thirteen years later, and the original project was radically revised. The area allocated for the new patriarchal courtyard in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus' was reduced by more than five times, and it amounted to 1,100 square meters.

Architecture

Trinity Church is the center of the patriarchal courtyard in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus', which also includes a chapel, a bell tower, a Sunday school building, a two-story clergy house with administrative premises (connected to the temple by underground passage). The domes of the courtyard buildings are painted bright blue - a symbol of the Mother of God and angelic powers, and the walls are a warm pinkish color, reminiscent of the color of the walls of the first Russian churches in Kyiv and Novgorod.

Trinity Church

The massive temple was built in the neo-Byzantine style. Capacity - up to three thousand person, height with a cross - 70 meters. This is a single-domed cubic building, to which semicircular exedra are attached on all four sides, which made the plan of the temple cruciform. In the eastern exedra (apse) there is the main altar, in the side chapels there are chapels, and the western one is the vestibule. The temple is covered with a powerful sail vault resting on the walls, as in ancient Byzantine buildings. The building is completed with a majestic hemispherical ribbed dome, in the drum of which there are twelve windows according to the number of apostles. The semi-domes of the exedra follow the shape of the dome and are almost equal in diameter, which is why the temple seems multi-domed.

Alexander Nevsky Chapel

The chapel in the name of the blessed Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky became the first structure erected on the courtyard. Located southwest of the temple. The building is topped with a hemispherical

The Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Borisov Ponds (also known as the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in honor of the millennium of the Baptism of Rus' in Orekhovo-Borisov) was built in 2004 in memory of the thousand-year anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'. (Address: Kashirskoe highway, building 61a).
I want to show three of my favorite new temples. These temples are very beautiful, but there is nothing special to say about them, so the text will be boring.

2.

The emergence of the village of Borisov is associated with the name of Tsar Boris Godunov. At the end of the 16th century, Godunov built a developed cascade of ponds on the Gorodenka River, which flowed through the palace estate. Upper Pond began near the village of Black Mud (later Tsaritsyno).

3.

On the shore of the last, eastern pond, the settlement of Borisovo arose - an economic village of the palace village of Kolomenskoye. Pond preserved ancient name"Borisovsky" or "Tsareborisovsky". Borisovo was part of the palace lands until 1917.

4.

As a village with a church, Borisovo was first mentioned in the parish salary books of the patriarchal order for 1628. This does not mean that there was no church place here before. The first wooden church was dedicated to St. Nicholas.

5.

Then a new, white stone church was built, dedicated to the Holy Life-Giving Trinity. The exact date of its construction is unknown.

6.

The church stood near the very shore of the pond, and next to it there was an old cemetery. Such an inconvenient location of the cemetery next to water was completely unacceptable for sanitary reasons.

7.

Moreover, the construction of the palace complex in Tsaritsino with all kinds of dams caused a further sharp rise in water.

8.

The old white stone church quickly fell into disrepair due to constant dampness and threatened to collapse.

9.

The collection of donations began for the construction of a new temple on the hill, but it moved very slowly, since a third of the Borisov village were Old Believers.

10.

The new church was built and consecrated in 1873, finishing continued until 1874. At the same time, a large bell was raised to the bell tower.

11.

Under the Bolsheviks, the church was closed, partially destroyed and converted into a grain warehouse for the Borisov state farm.

12.

In the summer of 1988, in the year of the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus', the foundation stone of the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity, dedicated to this event, was consecrated on the banks of the Borisov ponds in the Orekhovo-Borisovo area. Construction of the temple began only in 2000 at a new location near the Kashirskoe highway.

13.

In October 2000, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus', a cross was installed in a new place and the first prayer service was held, and on September 1, 2001, with a huge crowd of people, the foundation stone of the future Church of the Life-Giving Trinity was consecrated.

14.

The complex, which has the status of the Patriarchal Metochion, consists of a church, a clergy house, a children's music school and three chapels. The temple can accommodate up to 4,000 people at the same time.

All domes are painted blue - a symbol of the Mother of God and angelic powers.

15.

Fais se que dois advienne que peut. What is what in the church

The idea arose back in 1988, but at that time many buildings were returned to the Church, so the construction of a new temple was delayed.

The Church of the Life-Giving Trinity was erected on a hill - as was customary before. They built a single-domed cruciform building in the Byzantine style. The height with the cross is 70 meters.

On the left in front of the entrance hangs a marble plaque with the inscription: This temple, marking the first millennium of the baptism of Rus', was erected by the grace of God with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus' through the labors and funds of the Baltic Construction Company. 2004 from the Nativity of Christ. On the right is a marble plaque with a list of the temple's board of trustees. Inside the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity there is a porcelain iconostasis in the traditions of the famous Kuznetsov workshops.

The Patriarchal Metochion on Borisov Ponds also includes a clergy house, a Sunday school, a belfry and a chapel in the name of Prince Alexander Nevsky.

In memory of the thousand-year anniversary of the baptism of Rus'.

Story

On September 1, 2001, Patriarch Alexy II performed a prayer service for the beginning of the construction of the memorial church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Orekhov-Borisov.

By the spring of 2004, the construction of the temple building was completed, a team of icon painters under the leadership of the people's artist Russian Federation, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts Vasily Nesterenko began painting the temple, the project of which was approved by His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II and Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov on May 12, 2004. The grandiose ceramic iconostasis was made by St. Petersburg workshops under the direction of the artist Yuri Volkotrub. All the icons for it were painted by Anna Kalinina, a famous Moscow icon painter, whose original work on creating 48 icons of this iconostasis was recognized by the Russian Academy of Arts as one of the best in Moscow. From the Russian Orthodox Church Anna Kalinina received a gold medal of the Order of St. Sergius of Radonezh (2004) and a Silver medal Russian Academy Arts (2012). The icons in the icon cases were made by icon painters under the direction of Elena Knyazeva. For this work she was awarded the Order of St. Sergius of Radonezh of the Russian Orthodox Church, III degree.

On May 19, 2004, on the Day of Easter, Patriarch Alexy of Moscow and All Rus', concelebrated by Metropolitans of Krutitsy and Kolomna Juvenaly, Smolensk and Kaliningrad Kirill and Kaluga and Borovsky Clement and a large host of hierarchs and clergy, performed the consecration and led the Divine Liturgy in front of a huge crowd of worshipers. Present at the consecration were: First Hierarch of the ROCOR Metropolitan Laurus (Shkurla), Archbishops Mark (Arndt) and Kirill (Dmitriev) and the clergy accompanying them, Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District G. S. Poltavchenko, Head of the Baltic Construction Company I. A. Naivalt.

The temple on Borisov Ponds was designed in the Byzantine style; It is a single-domed cruciform building with four aisles; height with cross - 70 m; capacity - up to 4 thousand people. The porcelain iconostasis is made in the traditions of the Kuznetsov workshops of the 19th century. In the basement of the temple there is a baptistery for adult baptism through complete immersion. The complex of the Patriarchal Metochion on Borisov Ponds also includes a clergy house, a Sunday school, a belfry and a chapel in the name of St. blgv. book Alexander Nevsky. By the spring of 2004, the construction of the temple building was completed. It was conceived as a monument to the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'.

When designing the gate bell tower, the developers considered two options: to build it as a free-standing one or as a gate tower. The decision was made in favor of the gate. And indeed, the choice turned out to be successful: the belfry became a decoration temple complex, while performing its direct function. It owes its non-standard size to the central entrance to the complex, located under the bell tower. The belfry was built in record time, but decorating the exterior with marble decorations took a lot of time. The rounded shape, the blue dome, the marble decorations - everything is chosen in the same style as the entire complex. Back in 2001, 11 bells were brought (the largest of them weighs almost 2500 kilograms), which were installed on the belfry only in 2002, and already in 2003 a platform was erected on the belfry and a “control system” was installed. It should be noted that throughout the three years of construction, the bells never stopped and accompanied weekly Sunday prayer services with the reading of akathists.

Trinity on Borisovskie Ponds Church (Borisovskie Ponds Street, building No. 15, building 4).

In Orekhov-Borisov, by 1996, the second largest church in the capital was built - the Cathedral of the Life-Giving Trinity, which can accommodate up to three thousand people. It became the center of a larger new complex - the Patriarchal Metochion in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'. The complex, visible from the Kashirskoye Highway, includes the buildings of the Patriarchal Metochion, which include, at the rear of the cathedral, the chapel of the blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, a belfry, a Sunday school building and a clergy house with administrative premises.

The idea of ​​building an administrative center of the Russian Orthodox Church originated in 1988, the year of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'. A competition was held, in which the project of architect A.T. won. Polyansky. But the start of work was postponed; Polyansky died in 1993, without starting construction. They returned to the project thirteen years later, and it was completely redone. The church area was reduced more than five times, and it amounted to 1,100 square meters. In October 2000, the Baltic Construction Company began construction work. Already in 2001, a church complex began to grow before our eyes. The first completed building was the chapel in the name of the blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. A little later, the builders erected a bell tower, on the sides of which there are chapels. The shapes of the bell tower in miniature repeat the Trinity Church. The lower tier of the belfry is the gateway to the entire complex; it is the road from Kashirskoye Highway that approaches it over a bridge. By the beginning of 2004, construction was completed. Particularly labor-intensive work was carried out on the interior decoration of the temple, where expensive materials were used - marble, gilding. In addition, a porcelain iconostasis made by the St. Petersburg art and restoration workshop “Guild of Masters” by Yuri Volkotrub was brought to the cathedral, which is distinguished by its grace and the highest execution. The painting work was carried out under the guidance of the Honored Artist of Russia Vasily Nesterenko. The group of icon painters was led by Anna Belyanova. On May 19, 2004, the church was consecrated and the first liturgy was served. The temple was built in the Byzantine style.

This is a single-domed cubic building, to which semi-circular exedra are attached on all four sides, while the plan of the temple turned out to be cruciform. In the eastern exedra there is the main altar, in the side chapels there are chapels, and the western one is the vestibule. The temple is covered with a powerful sail vault resting on the walls, as in ancient Byzantine buildings. The building is completed with a powerful dome, in the drum of which there are twelve windows according to the number of apostles. The huge spherical ribbed dome is painted bright blue - a symbol of the Mother of God and angelic powers. The temple seems multi-domed, since the shape of the dome is repeated by the semi-domes of the exedra, almost equal in diameter to the main dome. The bell tower facing the west is completed with the same, only smaller, domes and half-domes. The walls are painted a warm pinkish color, somewhat reminiscent of the color of the walls of the first ancient Russian churches in Kyiv and Novgorod. A two-story parable building was also built on the territory of the Patriarchal Compound. An underground passage was made from the clergy's house to the temple.

The complex also includes a Sunday school building. The buildings of the complex, both church and secular, are decorated with mosaics made in the workshop of Ekaterina Ogorodnikova in St. Petersburg. The complex of the Patriarchal Metochion also included a baptistery, which is a separate room that allows the baptism of everyone - from infants to the elderly. The Patriarchal Compound is connected to the Kashirskoye Highway by a white-stone arched pedestrian bridge leading to the gate bell tower.
