For most parishioners, the Church of All Saints in Novokosino is a pleasant reward for their faith and efforts. After all, it was only thanks to their joint efforts that it was erected on this earth. Therefore, the creation of the temple is the story of a thousand righteous people who desired to perform a miracle with their own hands. It is their faith and kindness that this story is dedicated to.
New Hope
In the east of Moscow there is a small picturesque area called Novokosino. Most of its inhabitants are believers. Therefore, for a long time they were saddened by the fact that they could see the church service only after overcoming a long journey to another part of the city.
Soon, the Moscow diocese learned about the current Novokosino problem. The temple is necessary for people, which means that the church must do something about it. And on June 22, 1999, Archpriest John Chizhenok received a special task from the holy patriarch Alexy. He was supposed to build a temple in Novokosino.
Overcoming difficulties
The trouble is that in those years the church experienced a large shortage of funds. Therefore, despite the fact that the authorities gave permission for the construction, the construction process itself has stalled. Then the clergy asked for help from the residents of Novokosino. The temple desperately needed any help that indifferent people could offer.
Soon after, the first sponsors appeared. And the construction work began to slowly but surely gain momentum. However, it soon turned out that the clergy had obvious ill-wishers. Someone constantly put sticks in their wheels, which is why the construction of the temple was constantly suspended.
Nevertheless, the faith of the Russian people is unshakable. Therefore, on July 3, 2009, all construction work in the shrine was completed. It was a real triumph for Novokosino - the temple finally started working, and parishioners were able to visit their first service.
All Saints Church today
The shrine was named after all the saints, who glorified the Russian family with their exploits. And everyone who visits her remembers their accomplishments and tries to follow the righteous path in the future. In addition, you can come here any day. After all, the temple in Novokosino accepts believers daily: from 8 in the morning to 20:00.
As for the abbot, now he is Archpriest Michael Zazvonov. In addition to him, seven more clergymen keep order in the temple. Therefore, there is always an atmosphere of calm and comfort. In addition, a Sunday school is operating on the territory of the church, in which everyone can learn the basics of the Orthodox faith.
And all this became possible only thanks to the joint efforts of the Moscow diocese and the inhabitants of Novokosino. Which once again proves how strong and unshakable the faith of an Orthodox person can be.
