Metropolitan Kirill of Kazan and Tatarstan performed the great rite of consecration of a new church in the village of Sredny Devyatovo, Laishevsky district, in the Republic of Tatarstan.
Alexey Demidov, Chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Republic of Tatarstan, became the trustee of the construction of the new church, for whom the Middle Devyatovo is a family village.
The walls in the temple were painted by the artists of the icon painting workshop "New Resurrection". A handmade iconostasis was placed in the temple.
Nine bells were placed on the bell tower of the temple, which were cast according to the technology of the XVII century at the Yaroslavl factory of the Shuvalov Brothers in the city of Tutaev. The belfry will be controlled by an electronic system
After the consecration of the temple, prayers were offered for the health of the builders and benefactors, with whose help it was possible to build the monastery.
"We consecrated this temple in honor of Alexy, the man of God. This temple was the first in Tatarstan to be consecrated in honor of this saint. I wanted the person who comes here to see God. So that the bells remind us of what awaits us in eternal life. Today, the first Divine Liturgy will be celebrated here, we will pray for our relatives and friends," Vladyka said before the service.
Local residents noted that there had never been a church in the Middle of Devyatovo before and they had to go to a service in a neighboring village. Now they will be able to pray and attend services much more often than before.
