Церква Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці, Orthodox church in Meshkovskaya, Russia
The Pokrov Church is an Orthodox temple in Meshkovskaya with silver domes and crosses rising from the second floor of a substantial central building. The structure integrates religious spaces into a larger building that serves multiple functions.
The first church was built in 1917 near the Ostrovsky baths but was converted into a cinema and demolished in 1936. The current building was later erected to restore Orthodox worship in the town.
The church maintains an active icon painting school and wood carving workshop where traditional Russian Orthodox artistic methods continue today. Visitors can observe craftspeople at work preserving these inherited skills.
The temple is centrally located and easily accessible on foot through the main streets of town. Visitors should dress respectfully and maintain quiet behavior as befits a sacred space for active worship.
The church houses an 18th-century icon depicting the Protection of the Mother of God and contains relics of Saint Theodosius of the Caucasus. These treasures draw pilgrims seeking spiritual significance beyond the ordinary worship space.
