A memorial tented chapel, erected in 2006 in memory of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, located on this site, known in Moscow as “Nikola Streletsky”.
The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker has been mentioned since 1623, and in 1657 as a stone one. At that time, the courtyards of the parable of the Church of St. Nicholas Streletsky and its stone almshouses stood on Znamenka, and the courtyard of the mallow stood under the mountain in the middle of the street. This extremely narrowed Znamenka, which is why on Palmquist’s 1674 plan it is shown here as impassable, a dead end.
The street was widened to 8.5 meters in 1682, when these courtyards and almshouses were liquidated, and the church itself was moved to the western part of the street. The temple was built with the money and zeal of the archers in 1680-1683, consecrated on October 19, 1682. There were up to 210 Streltsy households in the parish. After the dissolution of the Streltsy by Peter I, the temple became impoverished - in 1716 there were only four courtyards in its parish.
It had two chapels: the Epiphany and St. Eustathia Placida. Nikola Streletsky was an almost typical “fire” temple of Moscow in the 17th century. The main thing in such a temple was its top: fire-shaped kokoshniks, fire-like domes - symbols of the fiery heavenly forces. Nikola also had her own differences: the second row of kokoshniks in the form of mandorlas with a golden radiant sun in each mandorla.
The bell tower is square at the base, 3-tiered - built at the end of the 18th century. The classic refectory was built in 1807-1810. In 1812, the temple was looted and burned, but after that it was restored and then completed and repaired several times by the city. The sacristy was built in 1875.
The temple was closed around 1929 and demolished in the summer of 1932 during the construction of the Sokolnicheskaya metro line using the open method. The territory was not built up. In the early 2000s, a proposal arose to recreate the Church of St. Nicholas Streletsky. Its author was the famous restoration specialist O.I. Zhurin, according to whose designs the Kazan Cathedral and the Iversky (Resurrection) Gates with a chapel on Red Square were recreated.
Moscow authorities did not support the proposal. At a meeting of the Moscow Architectural Council on June 6, 2001, it was decided not to recreate the demolished church. The arguments were “the existing urban planning situation, the high location of the Sokolnicheskaya Line of the Metro and a large package of underground communications.” In memory of the destroyed temple, it was decided to build a chapel.
The chapel is located on the preserved part of the foundation of the former temple on Borovitsky Hill, opposite the entrance to the Moscow State Art Gallery of A.M. Shilova. The construction of the chapel was led by artists Alexander Shilov and Gennady Provotorov.
On the memorial plaque there is the inscription: THE CHAPEL OF NICHOLAS THE WONDERWORKER OF MOZHAYSKY WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2006 ON THE PLACE OF THE CHURCH OF NIKOLAS STRELETSKY ON Znamenka, DESTROYED IN 1932
In the summer of 2010, the chapel was transferred to the Church of St. Nicholas in Stary Vagankovo. On December 28, 2010, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', Bishop Sergius of Solnechnogorsk, head of the Administrative Secretariat of the Moscow Patriarchate, consecrated a chapel in honor of the Mozhaisk Icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, built on the site of the Church of St. Nicholas the Streletsky on Znamenka, destroyed in 1932.

Based on materials from sites
The Chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Novosibirsk is one of the main attractions of the city. It is located in the very center and is considered its amulet.
Externally, the small chapel somewhat resembles an elegant candle, rising among other buildings and rapid city traffic. Her story is very interesting and unique.
About the city
The construction of the temple is connected with the anniversary of the founding of Novosibirsk (the name before 1925 was Novo-Nikolaevsk), founded in 1893, but only 10 years later received the status of a city.
It is the third largest city in terms of population and thirteenth largest city in the Russian Federation.
Currently, Novosibirsk is a major cultural, business, industrial, trade, scientific, and transport center of the country. And also one of the largest industrial centers in the West Siberian region.
The population is 1.6 million people.
It is located on both banks of the Ob River, in the southeastern part of the West Siberian Plain.
The city has a large number of architectural monuments, cultural places, and educational institutions. There are also 26 churches in Novosibirsk. Including the chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, which is a unique monument of temple art and is of particular importance for the city.
Description
This pearl of Orthodoxy, located on Krasny Prospekt, opposite Lenin Square, is a fairly new building. The first building of the temple was destroyed during Soviet times. But this chapel, built at the end of the 20th century, almost completely corresponds to the original design.
The building is elegant, but at the same time incredibly majestic, it rises and stands out among other buildings in this part of Novosibirsk.
No matter where you have to go through the city center, you can see it from everywhere. And, what is most interesting, there is always noise around the building, but inside there is blessed silence and sacred grace.
There is information that the founding of the church in this area, in this place, was not accidental. According to geographical calculations, it was here that the central point of Russia was located, and Novosibirsk was a city considered the center of the country.
In addition, the construction of the chapel is connected with the construction of the first bridge across the Ob for railway transport.
According to historical information, the city was originally named in honor of Emperor Nicholas II, and the temple was named in honor of St. Nicholas.
Currently, in the chapel you can admire ancient images, pray at the icon of the Wonderworker of Myra with a particle of his relics, and venerate the reliquary icon of St. Panteleimon.
Story
The Chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (Novosibirsk) was supposed to be founded in 1913 - for the twentieth anniversary of the city, as well as in honor of the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov. But by October of this year, only a construction permit was received from the authorities.
In fact, it turned out that work began only in the summer of 1914 (July 20). All costs for the construction of the temple were public: everyone helped in any way they could. The project was carried out by the architect A. Kryachkov, without taking payment for his work. In terms of finances, local merchants provided significant support. What is most surprising is that the bells were transported like ordinary cargo - in a railway carriage of a train. The construction of the temple was carried out quite quickly and amicably.
The location of the ancient chapel in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is the intersection of Nikolaevsky Prospekt and Tobizenovskaya Street (currently the street names are outdated).
In December 1914, the temple was solemnly consecrated. This was a very important event in the life of Novosibirsk (then Novo-Nikolaevsk).
At first, this monastery belonged to the Nevsky Church, and a little later it became an independent parish.
Unfortunately, the old chapel existed for only 16 years. Due to political events and persecution for the Orthodox faith, the temple was closed, and then a decision was made to demolish it altogether. This was done at the end of January 1930.
In this place of the city, a monument to Komsomolets was built, and then a monument to J.V. Stalin, which was removed in the 50s of the 20th century.
Restoration of the chapel
More than sixty years after the monastery was demolished - in September 1991, a religious procession was carried out from the Ascension Cathedral Church to the site of restoration of the ancient monastery - the new chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
And by 1993, the temple was erected, only now geographically it is located a little further from the intersection - the place where it was located before the demolition. The year of his rebirth was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the city.
In 2002, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow donated to the chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (Novosibirsk) a particle of the saint’s relics, which are now placed in the icon. Therefore, from now on the monastery is protected by a patron and has miraculous power for everyone who prays at this shrine.
The rector of this temple is Archpriest Patrin Georgy, who conducts services and performs religious processions on holidays.
Architecture and interior decoration of the temple
The chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (new) was designed by the architect P. A. Chernobrovtsev, but its modern appearance is as close as possible to the design of the early structure of the monastery. All the painted work on the interior space was carried out by the architect’s father, the artist A. S. Chernobrovtsev.
The base of the building is lined with finishing bricks, such as “Ragged stone”. The walls of the temple building are built of brick, decorated with plaster and whitewash. On the outside, they end with arched zakomaras with smooth curves and pointed tops.
The roof of the temple is made in the form of a dome, mounted on a round “drum” with eight narrow windows. There is an elegant cross on the top of the dome.
There are several steps leading to the entrance to the chapel. Above the arched doorway there is a mosaic image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The interior decoration of the church is very unpretentious: there is no huge iconostasis, large chandeliers and carpets. In addition to the icon and Panteleimon, several ancient images are placed. But here you can feel a special atmosphere: spirituality and spiritual warmth, light and silence.
Legends about the chapel and the city
Associated with the ancient monastery of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is the assumption that the location of the temple coincided with the First such opinion was expressed in 1988 on the radio. Therefore, the decision was born that it was necessary to return the temple to the city.
When the chapel was restored (on Krasny Prospekt) in 1993, the press began to publish reports that Novosibirsk is the territorial center of the country.
In February 1992, an article was published in a local newspaper (section “Page of History”), which reported the following. The Chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, built at the beginning of the 20th century at the intersection of Nikolaevsky Prospekt and Tobizenovskaya Street (respectively Krasny Prospekt and Maxim Gorky Street at present) in memory of the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov, is a geographical point of the Russian Empire.
In the newspaper "Soviet Siberia", in an article published in July 1993 about the restoration of the monastery of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, it was said that at the beginning of the 20th century the temple was built on this territory due to the fact that this place symbolically designated the center of Russia.
Currently, according to geodetic calculations of coordinates, this place is the southeast of Lake Vivi, which is in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (Evenkiy District). A special monument was erected in this place. But the temple still remains an unchanging symbol and amulet of the city.

And what guilt do we have before Christ, the Slavs, our people did not crucify him. Maybe it’s enough to bear the cross for other people’s sins and turn one’s cheeks for or without reason. Our proud ancestors never grumbled, and did not shed tears in vain. They fought with sword in hand and died with dignity.
Victor, I have known for a long time that you are a pagan. And I won't argue with you. Personally, this is not useful for me.

Victor, don’t continue to develop your theme here of your like-minded people in this group, by definition, there cannot be, as for bearing your cross for other people’s sins - we should convey ours to everyone - this is the first, now the second - the question was asked rhetorically - but at least try to answer for yourself and the third one - the sentence is formulated incorrectly, read the Bible but not with your eyes but with your soul, then you will put things in order in your head and you will have happiness and grace
Marina, you say that the holy letter must be read with spiritual eyes. And with what eyes do Catholics and diverse Protestants read the Bible. I understand one thing, that there is unity in the Christian world. no and never will be. , Remember the words of Christ, be united, I am not looking for like-minded people among you, I sometimes like to communicate with you.
but I am not your interlocutor because we speak different languages, forgive me for many years and I am in a hurry to live in your presence, I have no need
I’ll answer you with a good Russian proverb: the poppy didn’t give birth for a hundred years and there was no famine.
Marina, a worthy answer. That’s why they, the pagans, really need to argue with us. After all, I wrote to Victor. go in peace to other groups. But he doesn’t seem to see it.
my son had a nanny - a secret nun, a clever woman, she was amazing, she used to say - there is no need for us to go here of different religions / emphasis on - we / we don’t have time to talk with the little god, she said about the Adventists, they were very active at one time. and now I remember her

I don’t know prayers or speeches - forgive me my ignorance.
A church choir sings in silence, old women in shabby vestments,
They have a conversation with You and ask You for forgiveness.
And I, silent in the corner, catch the movement of bloodless lips,
And I hold the cross in my hand, which was bought in a church shop.
A bright face looks out from the icon - your face is divine and gentle.
I am silent, but you will hear the cry of an alarmed, rebellious soul.
I'm silent. But You will hear a cry that drowns out the songs.
My prayer is pain, and fear, and the torment of revelation.
My prayer is a cry: like a violin weeps pitifully,
When a diligent violinist strikes the strings with his bow.
My prayer is a howl: like an old she-wolf whines,
When, under the pale moon, she, alone, still cannot sleep.
I crawled to You, to Your house, like a battered and tattered animal,
Lick the unhealed wounds in your heart.
It whines. It hurts non-stop, day and night.
From all betrayals, from all insults. and bleeds from betrayal.
I'm silent. And is it necessary to talk about something that I would be happy to keep silent about?!
I came to ask for patience, but I don’t need anything else.

Wisdom from REVEREND SERAPHIM OF SAROV
Heaven and hell begin on earth.
Judge yourself, and the Lord will not judge.
Find peace in your soul, and thousands around you will be saved.
Take away sin, and illnesses will go away, for they are given to us for sins.
And you can overeat yourself with bread.
You can receive communion on earth and remain uncommunicated in Heaven.
Who endures illness with patience and thanksgiving,
he is charged with it instead of a feat or even more.
No one has ever complained about bread and water.
Buy a broom, buy a broom and sweep your cell more often,
because as your cell is swept away, so will your soul be swept away.
More than fasting and prayer is obedience, that is, work.
There is nothing worse than sin, and nothing more terrible and destructive than the spirit of despondency.
True faith cannot be without works:
He who truly believes will certainly have works.
If a person knew what the Lord had prepared for him in the kingdom of heaven,
he would be ready to sit in a pit of worms all his life.
Humility can conquer the whole world.
You need to remove despondency from yourself
and try to have a joyful spirit, not a sad one.
Out of joy a person can do anything,
from internal strain - nothing.
The abbot (and even more so the bishop) must have
not only a father's, but even a mother's heart.
The world lies in evil, we must know about it,
remember this, overcome it as much as possible.
Let there be thousands living with you in the world,
but reveal your secret to one out of a thousand.
If the family breaks down,
then states will be overthrown and peoples will be corrupted.
This one is on good soil, this one is also on sand,
this one on the rock, this one by the way, this one in the thorns:
everything will vegetate and grow somewhere,
and it will bear fruit, although not soon.
Crouch to the ground, tell everything as if it were alive,
and I will hear you, and all your sorrow will subside and pass away!
As you always said to the living,
so here too! For you I am alive and will be forever!

*******M O L I T V A
What are the obstacles on your way?
Forgive us our idle talk,
To endure our stupidity.
That we are again like a handful of dust,
Forgive deceit and intrigue,
I'm sorry that we live without a goal,
That they are lenient towards their enemies,
That even in the heart they failed
Sorry! After all, we are your creation.
Forgive all our sins
The chapel in honor of Nicholas the Wonderworker, one of the most revered saints in Christianity and Islam, at the Preobrazhenskoye cemetery was erected in 1805 according to the design of the architect F.K. Sokolova. What is noteworthy is that earlier architectural historians attributed the construction to another specialist of that time, V.I. Bazhenov. called the main square... of Paris.
In the 19th century, the religious site, built in a Gothic style unusual for Moscow, belonged to the Old Believers of the Fedoseyevsky Consent.
The building itself, made in the so-called Russian Gothic style, seems very elegant. The facade is decorated with various fragments of white stone. It is generally accepted that the Tsaritsyn Palace served as an example for the design of the chapel. Nine eight-pointed crosses are installed on top, as in. They say that previously there were miniature crucifixes on them, which have now been lost.
In 1940, the saint’s chapel was transferred to the Filippov Old Believers, who regularly held services here. However, the small community of the Filippovsky Concord gradually ceased to exist, as a result of which the small religious Orthodox site finally lost its cult status.
In 1990, the keys to the temple, which had fallen into disrepair, were transferred to the Moscow administration. In 2002, specialists restored the chapel, donating the building to the Old Believer community of the Fedoseyevsky Consent.
History of Fedoseevites and the Chapel of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
The religious movement arose at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries among peasants professing Old Believer canons. The spiritual leader of the community was Feodosius Vasiliev, a former deacon and ancestor of the Urusov boyars. The Fedoseyevskoye Consent, as a Christian movement, was formed at the end of the 17th century. The Pomeranians later accepted the doctrine of being. Throughout the 18th century, their relationship was ambiguous. The communities alternated between reconciling and breaking off all sorts of relationships.
Fedoseevites have always been distinguished by asceticism and intransigence towards the ruling class and the state in general. Believers denied praying for the sovereign, as well as non-sacred marriage, because they were firmly convinced that the reign of the Antichrist had come.
Nicholas the Wonderworker
In the Christian world it is quite difficult to find such a revered saint as St. Nicholas. He is worshiped in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. We especially venerate the saint in Orthodoxy. Everyone turns to him - from children and ordinary people to old people and learned men, believers and atheists, Muslims, Catholics.
The reason for the scale of veneration is the Creator’s dedication to prayers, which are heard by icons of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker all over the world. The relics of the saint are located in the Italian city of Bari, but the main burial was in the Byzantine city of Myra (now the Turkish city of Demre). From there, already in the Ottoman era, the relics were secretly removed by the Genoese, one of whom Nicholas appeared in a dream. In addition, the relics and garments of the Wonderworker are carefully preserved in many countries of Europe and the rest of the world.
In Russia, Nicholas the Wonderworker is especially revered. Everyone sends him prayers, despite the fact that he is considered the patron saint of children, merchants, and sailors. Dmitry Donskoy built several churches in his honor after the appearance of the saint before the Battle of Kulikovo. Interestingly, in Russia there are more churches and icons in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker than anywhere else. In terms of popularity when naming churches, he is second only to the Mother of God.
