Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Essentuki

russia, Yessentuki
Orthodox wooden church of the 19th century with a hipped roof and a gilded onion at the top. It is considered the oldest building in the city and one of the main attractions. The sky-blue temple was designed by the Bernardazzi brothers, famous architects of the region, and built without a single nail, just as they did in the old days. The church was built in 1826 by the Volga Cossacks. At the temple there were, in particular, a parochial school and a library. It is noteworthy that even in Soviet times the church was active. Commemorative plaques with the names of Cossacks who distinguished themselves in battles are still kept in the walls of the temple.

Located far from the city center, in the area of ​ ​ the private sector. From the park I walked 1 hour (5 km) and back too. Was in it for the feast of St. Trinity. There were a lot of people. On the territory there is a source from St. water. The church is small inside, so it's hard to accommodate all the parishioners, it's very stuffy. Everything was decorated with greenery, even the floor was covered with herbs, which surprised me a little. I want to go next time, when there is no holiday, to be able to see ancient icons.
