History
The temple was laid on September 30, 1996 . Built with the help of Uralmash JSC (General Director V.V. Korovin). [one]
Construction was carried out at a fast pace, and its opening took place on January 7, 1999 , on the feast of the Nativity of Christ .
On September 19, 2000, in honor of the 2000th anniversary of Christianity , a bronze statue of the Archangel Michael was installed 2.5 meters high and weighs more than 2 tons near the entrance to the temple. The casting of the statue was made at Uralmash . On September 23, the monument was consecrated by Patriarch Alexy II [2] .
At present, the Nativity of Christ Church is one of the largest in the Yekaterinburg and Verkhotursky diocese. He spiritually feeds the boarding house for the disabled and elderly in the Ordzhonikidze district , the rehabilitation center for disabled children "Pelikan", the orphanage "Nest", hospitals on the Uralmash , schools, schools, military units. Along with this, the parish built the Holy Trinity Church on Shartash , a church in the name of St. Blessed Xenia of St. Petersburg at the Eastern Cemetery, a church in the name of St. Matrona of Moscow, a church in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh and the Martyr Elizabeth. [3]
For 2018 - one of the largest parishes in the Yekaterinburg diocese. [four]
Prior to 2019, the rector of the church was Archpriest Vladimir Zyazev, who was secretly considered the spiritual mentor of the members of the Uralmash OPS . [five]
The abbot of the first church built in the city since 1917 believed that at least 300 temples were needed in Yekaterinburg:
In pre-revolutionary Tsarist Russia, there was one temple for 1,500 people, and one priest for 1,000 people. If you take Yekaterinburg and the nearest cities - Berezovsky, Verkhnyaya Pyshma, there will be 1.5 million people. By the old proportion, 1000 temples are needed. We want much less - for the temple for every 5 thousand people. Although 300 churches are not enough for Yekaterinburg.
