Igreja de Santa Mártir Zenaide, Russian Orthodox temple in Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The church displays traditional Pskov architectural elements with a central dome, white walls, and decorative elements typical of Russian religious buildings.
Russian refugees fleeing the 1921 Revolution constructed this temple between 1935 and 1937, establishing the first Russian Orthodox parish in Rio de Janeiro.
Services in the church combine Russian Orthodox traditions with Portuguese language elements, serving both Russian descendants and Brazilian worshippers.
The temple holds regular services in Portuguese and Russian languages, with additional activities during major Orthodox religious celebrations.
This is the only church worldwide dedicated to Saint Martyr Zenaida, reflecting a specific connection to Russian Orthodox heritage in South America.
