Fyodorovskaya Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Yaroslavl, Russia.
Fyodorovskaya Church is a brick building with five domes rising on elongated drums from a rectangular base. The structure stands on the Kotorosl River bank and displays the characteristic architectural style of the Yaroslavl school.
The church was built between 1682 and 1687 by local parishioners and was one of the first returned to Russian Orthodox use in 1987. This return marked an important moment in restoring religious sites in the region.
The church served as a gathering place for the local community and their religious practices. People came here to pray and attend services, making it a center of faith for the neighborhood.
The church is easily reached by its location on the Kotorosl River and accessible to visitors. Those entering should keep in mind that reverence and quiet are expected in this place of worship.
According to local tradition, the Mother of God appeared to a paralyzed man named Ivan, instructing him to build this church. This apparition is documented in parish records and forms the origin story of the site.
