Glesia Ortodoxa Rusa de la Virgen del Amparo, Russian Orthodox temple in Asunción, Paraguay
The temple features a collection of Russian icons brought by families who first arrived in America, displayed throughout its interior spaces.
The construction started in 1926 under General Nicolas Ern and Prince Jason Tumanoff, leading to its consecration by Protopresbyter Konstantin Izraztsoff in 1928.
During services, women cover their heads following ancient traditions from the Catholic Church of Constantinople while participating in extended liturgical celebrations.
The temple opens for Sunday services where Marina Golybina participates in the choir and assists Father Igor Terentiev with translations.
After remaining closed for thirty years, the temple reopened with restored icons and now includes a rose garden in its grounds.
