A new church has been completed in Moscow's Academic District, located in the southwestern part of the city, dedicated to Saint Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea. This church, with a capacity for 400 people, is situated on the grounds of the 64th City Hospital, as reported by the Moscow City News Agency.

The church is intended to serve not only the medical staff but also patients undergoing treatment at the hospital, as well as residents of nearby neighborhoods. Following a comprehensive inspection by the Moscow State Construction Supervision, an opinion confirming the compliance of the constructed facility with approved documentation was issued. Subsequently, a permit for the building's operation was granted," said Igor Voistratenko, the head of the Moscow State Construction Supervision.

The new two-story church, complete with a bell tower, covers an area of 550 square meters and is accessible both from the street and within the hospital premises. The area surrounding the church has been landscaped and improved, featuring driveways, sidewalks, tree plantings, and flower beds.

Saint Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky) was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church as one of the new martyrs and confessors of Russia. He served as the Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea during the 1940s. Archbishop Luke was a lifelong surgeon, with his medical writings becoming classics in the field. Simultaneously, he gained fame as a theologian and spiritual writer. He fell victim to political repression, enduring imprisonment and torture, and spending a total of 11 years in exile.
