Church of Elijah the Prophet in Obydensky lane
Church of Elijah the Prophet in Obydensky lane, Orthodox church in Khamovniki district, Moscow, Russia.
The church follows Russian Revival architecture with a central octagonal structure rising from a rectangular base, featuring elaborate masonry patterns and traditional domed roofs.
Built in 1702 on the site of a wooden church, the stone structure was funded by brothers Gavriil and Vasily Derevnin during the early years of Peter the Great.
The church holds three venerated Orthodox icons: the Mother of God Unexpected Joy, the Feodorovskaya, and the Vladimirskaya, drawing faithful visitors throughout the year.
Located at 8 Second Obydensky Lane, the church conducts daily services at 7:40 AM for morning liturgy and 5:00 PM for evening prayers.
The original wooden church earned its name Obydensky by being constructed in a single day in 1592 in response to severe drought conditions.
