History
At the beginning of the 17th century , a wooden village church was built in the village of Brateevo , then another, also wooden, was erected in its place with a bell tower on a stone foundation. She was transferred from the village of Rozhdestveno, Moscow County [2] . There were two thrones in it: the main one, in honor of the Beheading of the honest head of St. John the Baptist and the side - the holy martyr Blasius. On May 27, 1890, the laying of a new stone temple was completed, and by mid-October the temple was already ready. It was built on a high place, behind the village, “in the Byzantine style”, with three thrones placed in a row and an extensive dome. On November 3, 1892, the temple was consecrated.
The wooden church was destroyed in the 1920s [3] . Stone was closed in 1930 and converted into a club. It was finally destroyed, according to some sources, in the 1940s [4] , according to others, in the 1980s, when the village was demolished [3] .
On January 4, 1996, the parish of the recreated Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist in Brateyev was established. To date, near the site of the alleged restoration of the temple built and operates the temple chapel of the Life-Giving Trinity.
