One of the most densely populated areas of Moscow is Bibirevo. Believers living here still feel an acute shortage of places where it would be possible to conduct conciliar prayers. Therefore, each of the temples built here is especially valuable. These include a small church, built about 15 years ago in honor of the founders of Russian monasticism, the famous ascetics of the XI century, the Rev. Theodosius and Anthony of the Caves.
