In St. Nicholas Church, services will be conducted with sign language translation, and inscriptions on icons will be duplicated in Braille.
Determine a place for hard of hearing people in this temple at the construction stage. Especially closer to the altar. Everything is done so that parishioners with disabilities can see the priest and the translator at the same time. For Tula, such services will become unique, because similar ones simply do not take place in the city. However, this is not the only feature for an inclusive church. It will also differ from others by painting the walls. Prayers will be duplicated in Braille under the icons. The idea of such a design did not appear by chance.
In the village of Glukye Polyany near Tula, the first temple was built 200 years ago. But in Soviet times, the church was completely destroyed. There were no photos or written documents left of her. Therefore, the Tulyaks developed the project for the new temple themselves, from scratch. We decided to build on our own. We started in 2019. Over the past 6 years, more than 1,000 parishioners have provided assistance. To thank everyone, personalized bricks are laid in the foundation of the temple. The names of the benefactors have already turned into a whole wall. It remains to install the roof.
The abbots of the temple appealed to the Governor Dmitry Milyaev with a request to help in the restoration of the temple. And there was a patron. 700 thousand rubles were allocated for the construction of the vaults of the central part. While the construction is underway, the services are conducted in a temporary room. Locals bring books, icons and candles here. Sign language services are also held here. And as soon as the windows, doors and roof are installed in the church, the revived St. Nicholas Inclusive church will be opened to all parishioners.
