Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos, Orthodox church in Staritsa, Russia.

The Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos stands on the left bank of the Volga River, featuring traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements.

The construction of this religious building took place between 1750 and 1825, during a period of expansion for Orthodox churches in the Tver region.

The church maintains connections to both Christian and pre-Christian traditions through its association with Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, a figure linked to water and commerce.

Located 65 kilometers southwest of Tver, this federal cultural heritage site remains a central religious structure in the small town of Staritsa.

The building incorporates elements of water-related symbolism, as churches dedicated to Paraskeva were traditionally constructed near rivers or water bodies.
