Church on the slingshot schedule. Church of the Great Martyr George the Victorious on the middle slingshot. Dear brothers and sisters

Srednyaya Rogatka is a historical district in the south of St. Petersburg (around Moskovskaya and Zvezdnaya stations). Administratively, it is part of the Moskovsky district. This area is quite densely populated and there are churches built - St. Vmch. George the Victorious and St. St. Sergius of Radonezh was not enough to accommodate everyone during Sunday and holiday services.

Community St. Sergius of Radonezh, it was decided to build a third, large temple in the park on Srednyaya Rogatka. It was decided to coincide with the construction of the Church of the Nativity to coincide with the two thousandth anniversary of the Nativity of Christ.

The foundation stone of the church took place on October 11, 1999, on the feast day of St. Cyril and Mary, the parents of Sergius of Radonezh, by the rector of the parish, Archpriest Adrian Dolzhikov, in the presence of the Governor of St. Petersburg V. Yakovlev and a large number of citizens.

The project was made in neo-Russian style by architect A.M. Lebedev from the workshop of I.P. Lyubarova. The temple is designed for 1000 people. The height of the bell tower is 41 m. The temple is crowned with seventeen domes. This is the most multi-domed church in St. Petersburg. The Church of the Nativity on Srednyaya Rogatka is the only temple in the Northern capital dedicated to the coming of Christ. Before the revolution, there were eight churches with this name in St. Petersburg, and none of them survived.

During the construction of the temple, bricks were lifted onto the walls by hand. As the elder of the church, Rev. Sergius of Radonezh, the organizer of the creation of the temple complex on Srednyaya Rogatka, Yuri Grigorievich Korytchenkov, the technology is very expensive, but every brick is touched by the warmth of a human hand.

Temple address: St. Petersburg, Moskovskoe shosse, 3.

The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh on Srednyaya Rogatka is a functioning Orthodox church in St. Petersburg on the territory of Pulkovo Park.

The church is part of a magnificent temple complex, which also includes: the Church of the Nativity of Christ and the Church of St. George the Victorious. Sergievskaya Church was built between 1998 and 2001. due to the need for more spacious prayer rooms for the local parish. The author of the project is the Swiss architect Justus Dahinden. The architectural style is pseudo-Russian (stylized as Pskov churches). The capacity of the temple is 250 people.

The temple was built on one of the islands (now Sergiev Island) of the Srednerogatsky pond, which creates the impression of a country monastic complex. The temple is surrounded by a white stone fence, like classical ancient Russian monasteries. The stone gate with a cross is an exact copy of the gate of the Church of St. George the Victorious in the village of Lozhgolovo, Slantsevsky district, Leningrad region.

At the end of the 1990s, due to the extreme need for a new, larger and more capacious church for worshipers, it was decided to build a new stone church on one of the islands of the Srednerogatsky pond, closest to the parish church in the name of the Great Martyr George the Victorious, which had been operating since that year. up to 250 people could attend a service at the same time. It was planned that early masses would be celebrated in this church mainly on holidays and Sundays, which, due to the cramped conditions of the existing church, was an urgent need. It was decided, as planned back in 1992, when the parish was created, to dedicate the main and only altar of this temple to St. Sergius, abbot of Radonezh and all Rus', the wonderworker. The design of the temple was created free of charge by the Swiss architect Justus Dahinden.

In winter, a stone gate was erected on the island, topped with a gilded cross and decorated with the image of St. Sergius, an exact copy of those built in the 19th century in the church fence of the St. George Church in the village of Lozhgolovo (now Slantsevsky district of the Leningrad region). In the first half of the summer of 1999, the necessary construction materials began to be delivered manually to the island over the newly constructed bridge.

By June 1999, a pit was dug for the foundation of the temple, and in July the foundations were ready.

On July 18, the ceremonial laying of the temple took place, which was performed by the rector of the parish, Archpriest Adrian Dolzhikov. A foundation stone was placed at the base of the altar wall and a foundation slab of black granite was walled up.

Everything here had to be done by hand; no vehicles transported building materials to the island. Before our eyes, during the warm season (in the winter months the construction was temporarily mothballed), the walls of the temple grew, a stone fence was erected around the perimeter of the island, reminiscent of a monastery, in which three stone gates were built. The island was named Sergiev.

In the second half of 1999 - the beginning of the year, buildings for a candle house, a house for the clergy, and a gatekeeper's house were erected on the island. On the eve of the autumn holiday of St. Sergius, bells cast at the Baltic plant were raised onto the completed bell tower. On the day of the holiday, for the first time, a prayer service was served under the arches of the temple.

In October - December 2000, golden crosses were installed above the bell tower and the main dome, and metal plating of the dome began. For better acoustics, resonators-voices were installed under the arches of the temple, following the example of ancient Russian churches. A choir was built above the porch, and a stone staircase leading to the bell tower was built. The temple and the vestibule were decorated with majestic chandeliers. By the end of 2000, the construction of the church was completed, and the island was improved.

On January 7, on the holiday of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ, the church was consecrated by a minor rank of Archpriest Adrian Dolzhikov, co-served by a clergyman, in the presence of the Governor of St. Petersburg V. Yakovlev. From that day on, services in the temple became regular.

In 2001, the temporary iconostasis of the church was replaced by a permanent five-tiered one, based on ancient Russian examples of iconostases of the churches of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra and other shrines of Northern and Central Rus'.

There is a Sunday school at the church.

On September 24, 2018, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', Chairman of the Synodal Department for Monasteries and Monasticism, Vicar of the Holy Trinity Lavra of Sergius, Archbishop Feognost of Sergiev Posad, performed the great consecration of the house church in honor of the Appearance of the Most Holy Theotokos to St. Sergius of Radonezh at the Nativity of the Mother of God nsky stauropegial convent in the Moscow region and the Divine Liturgy in the newly consecrated church.

His Eminence was co-served by the brethren of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra and the clergy of the Nativity of the Mother of God Monastery.

Praying during the service were the abbess of the Mother of God Nativity Monastery, abbess Victorina (Perminova), the deputy chairman of the Synodal Department for Monasteries and Monasticism, the abbess of the Conception Stauropegial Convent, abbess Juliania (Kaleda), and the abbess of the Holy Trinity Alexander Nevsky Stauropegial Convent, abbess Anthony (Minina).

At the end of the Liturgy, Bishop Theognost congratulated the worshipers on the consecration of the temple and addressed them with an archpastoral word:

“I would like to sincerely thank our High Hierarch for the blessing to consecrate the temple - to perform this great sacrament. Just as the Ark of the Ark and the Cross in New Testament times became the beginning of a new life, so the consecration of the temple is the beginning of its grace-filled life.

Truly, the most difficult thing is to separate the main from the secondary, and often the main thing is lost for us in some details. And a person’s whole life often passes in vanity, and he has not done the most important thing.

One of the main events in Russian history was the appearance of the Mother of God to St. Sergius. Even the saints and other reverend fathers did not have such a wondrous phenomenon with the promise: “Do not be dismayed, my chosen one! I have come to visit you. Behold, your prayer was quickly heard for your disciples, for whom you prayed, and for your monastery, so that you do not grieve otherwise: for From now on I will dwell with everyone, and not only until this life, but also because of your departure to the Lord, I will not retreat from your monastery...”

Nowadays, we are wondering why there are no revelations and appearances today. After all, the prophecy has not diminished and the Spirit of God lives in the Church. But we ourselves live in some place remote from the Epiphany. And this removal is not territorial - it is our spiritual and emotional state.

During the appearance of the Mother of God, the Monk Sergius saw and heard everything, but his cell attendant and one of his closest and best disciples, the Monk Micah, saw and heard nothing. Let's pay attention to what words the disciple of the monk says: " Father, what was that? My soul almost separated from my body"But how great the Monk Micah was in relation to us! And we no longer have such spiritual sensitivity and fear of the Lord.

God's manifestations are near us, we have simply lost the opportunity to hear and see. We have neither seeing, nor hearing, nor fear, but only a slight murmur: " Why don't we have anything like this?“Everything is there, we just have become immune to this grace. But still our heart is filled with joy and special reverence, because we one way or another belong to the spiritual flock of St. Sergius. After all, all history - even if we talk about the 20th century - is connected with the venerable Sergius: there were great elders in his monastery, people who came to the Church today are in one way or another connected with those who came from St. Sergius, and this distant relationship fills the heart with joy.
