Church of the Red Cross, Religious building on Leontievskaya Street in Pushkin, Russia.

The Church of the Red Cross occupies the southern part of a stone building erected in 1912–1913 to Silvio Danini's design at Oktyabrsky Boulevard 14. Its facades follow medieval Novgorod forms, with arched openings and multi-pitched roofs. Above the entrance hangs a canopied icon-panel with curved outlines, and a three-cupola bell gable rises over the south wall.

The Red Cross community here began in 1877 under the Tsarskoye Selo ladies' committee and lasted until the end of the Russo-Turkish War. In 1899 General Pyotr Rerberg initiated the Tsarskoye Selo Red Cross Committee, chaired by lady-in-waiting Yevdokia Dzhunkovskaya. On 8 (21) February 1908 it became the Tsarskoye Selo Community of Sisters of Mercy under the patronage of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. The stone building by architect Silvio Danini was founded on 8 (21) June 1912 and completed in 1913; the church was consecrated on 1 (13) October 1914 in the presence of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna.

The church is dedicated to the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow". Its consecration on 1 (13) October 1914 was attended by Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. The interior painting was done by Georgy Pashkov after sketches by Viktor Vasnetsov, and Sergei Vashkov took part in decorating the iconostasis.

The church occupies the southern part of the former Red Cross community's stone building at Oktyabrsky Boulevard 14, entered from Leontievskaya Street. Look above the door for the curved-canopy icon panel and, above the south wall, the three-cupola bell gable. Restoration is ongoing and frescoes are now open; services resumed in 2006, so confirm current visiting conditions locally.

The church occupies the southern part of a stone building erected in 1912–1913 to Silvio Danini's design, where the Red Cross community ran an outpatient clinic and a sisters' dormitory. Its interior painting was done by Georgy Pashkov after sketches by Viktor Vasnetsov, and Sergei Vashkov took part in finishing the iconostasis. Above the entrance hangs a panel-icon under a curved canopy, and a bell gable with three small domes rises over the south wall.
