Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Church of the Rіzdva Blessed Virgin Mary
Ukraine, Henichesk
The construction of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin in the forms of the Russian-Byzantine style began in 1905 at the courtyard of the monastery, founded in Genichesk by the mendicant old man Sozonty. The temple was consecrated in 1907. A small chapel was erected to the right of the main entrance to the church. In the yard, among the trees and rose bushes, peacocks strolled. In Soviet times, the temple building was saved, but the grave of Sozontius, buried in the south side of the main nave, was destroyed. The premises of the church were used for a gym and a granary. After the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia, the church was reopened in 1989, in 1990, during the restoration, the dome and drum of the temple were restored to their original form.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Genichesk is located on the only hill among the endless Taurian steppes. The shrine was erected in 1907 in the spirit of Byzantine architecture. The temple has a characteristic cruciform shape for Christian buildings. A semicircular dome rises above the sloping roof. The vestibule is crowned with a two-tiered bell tower with a golden tent. The walls of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin shine with blue and white colors, which amazingly complement the blueness of the Sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bAzov.
