Holy Myrrhbearers church, Eastern Orthodox church in Verkhniy Posad, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

The Church of the Holy Myrrhbearers is a two-storey stone church built in 1649, the first parish stone church in Nizhny Novgorod's Upper Posad. It is the earliest Russian church of the 'ship' type: altar, prayer hall, refectory and bell tower are aligned strictly on one east-west axis. A two-storey brick side chapel added in 1805 stands on the north side of the refectory.

A wooden church stood here from the 13th century; the present two-storey stone building dates from 1649. In 1805 the merchant P. Pereplyotchikov funded a two-storey brick side chapel on the north side of the refectory, and after the 1848 fire the interior frescoes were renewed. The church was closed after the revolution, its domes demolished, and the building housed a light-industry technical school until it was returned to the diocese in the 1990s.

The parish produced two locally venerated saints, Euthymius of Suzdal and Macarius of Zheltovodsk, both born here. The main altar honours the Holy Myrrhbearers, while the side chapels are dedicated to the Znamenie icon of the Mother of God, the apostles Peter and Paul, and these two saints. The lower Znamenie church was consecrated on 25 January 2012.

The church is easily reachable by tram and located in an accessible neighborhood of the city center. Visitors can explore the grounds on foot and observe services taking place, or simply walk around to view the exterior architecture and surroundings.

This building holds the distinction of being the first church in Russian architectural history designed in a 'ship' style, stretching horizontally from east to west. This unusual layout set it apart from the traditional cross-shaped churches common in other Orthodox structures.
