Church of Mary Magdalene in Saint-Petersburg

Where is Church of Mary Magdalene in St. Petersburg? Near Pavlovsk Park. Here is main pilgrimage of citizens.

The Church of Mary Magdalene in the cultural capital of our country was raised many times in the same place. This building is the first building in the city, made of stone. In 1871 this place was a hospital, so the Church had to be build here. The architect Quarenghi began construction in the presence of the Grand Duke Paul Petrovich, the son of the founder of St. Petersburg Peter. Rebuilt and dedicated the temple of Gabriel the Metropolitan of Petrov. Icon wrote Roman painter Kadesh, and wall paintings studied Russian artist Fedor Danilov. Empress Maria Feodorovna had to the interior is distinguished by beauty and simplicity.

Outside the Church remained strict and unapproachable. Next the soldiers were buried who died in the hospital after fighting with the French troops, under the temple was placed the tomb for the foreign ambassadors and Ministers.

After the revolution, the hospital became a Shoe factory, and the temple was closed in 1931. Church decoration and icons were plundered, relics, before the sacred, desecrated, burned a lot. The greatest damage to the inner wall paintings of the Church caused the toy factory, which is located in the building of the temple after the great Patriotic war. Chemical liquid, vibration of sewing machines used in the production, put a fat point on the primal beauty that survived almost two centuries. Subsequently, the room, an old beautiful Church, it was long empty. The community has made his return to himself only in nineteen ninety-fifth year. At that point, the building is almost nothing left: the floor is absent, the walls were riddled through cracks. As in Russia in the nineties was a terrible financial situation, the financing for the rebuilding of the temple was not out of the question. Until 1998, the Church of Mary Magdalene continued to deteriorate. Finally rotted wooden partition, and inside field of paintings is a trendy graffiti.

Only the two thousandth year completely restored the building itself, resumed service. There were also parts of ancient frescoes and murals on the walls, to today's time they are virtually restored. In the Church of Mary Magdalene began to return to her relics and icons, which were present in all countries of the world among collectors and in museums. Now the Church has a gold cross and a new main dome of the belfry.
