History
The first mention of the church dates back to 1628. At the beginning of the XVII century, this place was an ensemble of two wooden churches - the "winter" in the name of the holy martyrs Flora and Lavra (who gave the name Lavrovskaya Street [2] ) and the "summer" in the name of John Chrysostom . The Kostroma scribe book says: “In the Zlatoustenskaya street in Kuznetsy the church is a ruby wood dumpling of the holy martyrs Flora and Lavra, and the church place of John Chrysostom.” The latter, at the time of compilation of the scribal book, most likely burned out, leaving behind a “church place”.
In the XVII century, the wooden church of John Chrysostom was rebuilt, and in the middle of the XVIII century a five-domed stone church appeared in its place, consecrated in 1751.
Stone John-Zlatoust and wooden Floro-Lavrovsky temples stood next to each other for about 40 years. The stone temple was "cold", in winter services were held in the wooden church of Flora and Lavra. It finally became dilapidated at the end of the 18th century, after which two “warm” chapels and a bell tower (from the west) were added to the Ivano-3latoust church. These aisles, each crowned with a small chapel (there were seven chapters in total near the temple), were consecrated in 1791.
in the 20th century
In the spring of 1922, as part of the All-Russian expropriation of church values, more than 117 kg of silver items were seized from the Church of John Chrysostom: salaries for icons, sacred vessels and lamps.
In the same year, the historical cathedrals in the former Kostroma Kremlin fell into the hands of the Renovationists , and the church in the name of the holy prophet of God Elijah became the new cathedral. When, in November 1929, it was also closed, the cathedral was the church of St. John Chrysostom.
In 1959, the bishop of Kostroma Sergius (Kostin) was buried in the fence of the temple.
In 1964, the Kostroma Cathedral was transferred to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ on Debra , and the John Chrysostom Church became attributed (during the reign of N.S. Khrushchev, the authorities prepared it for closing and demolition). She was able to obtain the status of an independent parish church only in 1966.
Architecture
The first stone church was five-domed, pillarless and one- apical , in the traditions of pre-Petrine architecture. However, the baroque style , which was established in Russian architecture at the beginning of the 18th century, was already felt in its external decor. New chapels added at the end of the century (each on an octagonal drum) and a three-tier bell tower, crowned with a high spire, are made in the style of early classicism .
