Church Construction
In 1753, the Pereslavl diocese was headed by Bishop Ambrose (Zertis-Kamensky) . He began rapid construction in the Goritsky monastery . Instead of the old Assumption Cathedral, a new one is being built, and on the western side the church of Gethsemane connects it with the Church of All Saints. [one]
This two-story building was 22.8 meters long and 29.5 meters wide. [2]
Gethsemane Church created an ensemble with the Assumption Cathedral, and according to the general plan here "it should have been the Holy Sepulcher, befitting the temple of Her." In the numerous windows, instead of window sills, there were tombstones of the monastery cemetery. [3]
Here were the narthex and stairs to the choirs of the Assumption Cathedral. [four]
Construction began in October 1753, the cost of the estimate amounted to more than 7 thousand rubles, it took about two million pieces of brick. Five years later (in 1758), Ambrose orders to speed up the work and offers the masters to work at night by candlelight. In 1760, the construction was ordered by the architect Ivan Yakovlev, a student of Ukhtomsky . In 1761, Ambrose was transferred to Moscow, without his supervision, the work immediately loses its pace, and after the secularization of 1764, they are left without money. In 1788 the diocese was closed and the building of Gethsemane remained unfinished. [one]
Church Destruction
In 1812, the Gethsemane building was sold for scrap. It was bought from the auction by the Pereslavl merchant Naydyshev, who could not defeat the "marvelous building of Gethsemane" and disfigure the magnificent building. [3]
70 years passed and the Orthodox priests dismantled the church. At a congress of the district clergy under the chairmanship of Archpriest Svirelin , a construction committee was elected on July 11, 1881. With his bona fide orders, work began on breaking the Gethsemane building. [5] In 1883, the Gethsemane building was dismantled into bricks. Building material was used for the building of the Pereslavl Theological School. [6]
