Church of Saint Thomas at Kantemirovskaya

Church of Saint Thomas at Kantemirovskaya, Orthodox church in Kantemirovskaya district, Moscow, Russia

The Church of Saint Thomas at Kantemirovskaya is a wooden church erected in November 2006 in Moscow's Southern Administrative District; its altar was consecrated in honour of the Apostle Thomas. It grew out of a parish community organised in 2003 near Kantemirovskaya metro station by priest Daniil Sysoev, who had received Patriarch Alexy II's blessing that November to build a church in honour of his patron, the prophet Daniel.

In 2003 Daniil Sysoev founded an independent parish near Kantemirovskaya metro station and, with Patriarch Alexy II's blessing that November, began organising a church in honour of the prophet Daniel, his patron saint. A temporary wooden church, its altar consecrated to the Apostle Thomas, was raised in November 2006. Sysoev served as its rector until he was shot inside the church on 20 November 2009.

The parish was organised in 2003 by priest Daniil Sysoev, who received Patriarch Alexy II's blessing to build a church in honour of the prophet Daniel, his patron saint. A temporary wooden church with a throne consecrated to the Apostle Thomas was raised in November 2006. Sysoev held Thursday evening Bible readings here from 2006, and the parish ran courses for Orthodox street missionaries.

The church stands near Kantemirovskaya metro station in Moscow's southern administrative district. The first church on the site was a temporary wooden structure erected in November 2006, its altar consecrated in honour of the Apostle Thomas. Services follow the Orthodox liturgical calendar, and Thursday evening Bible readings begun by Father Daniil Sysoev in 1997 continued at this church from 2006.

The church is associated with Father Daniil Sysoev, its rector from 2006, who was shot dead inside it on 19 November 2009 while serving; some Orthodox believers venerate him as a martyr and await his canonisation. The building began as a temporary wooden church erected in November 2006, its altar consecrated in honour of the Apostle Thomas.
