The church was built in 1993 during a period of religious revival following the end of Soviet rule. The project represents a return to Russian Orthodox architectural traditions in the contemporary city.
The church serves as a gathering place for Orthodox worship, where visitors can experience traditional liturgical practices and hear Church Slavonic chanting during services. The community gathers here for major feast days and daily prayer times.
The building is located in southern Moscow and is accessible to visitors during prayer times. Visitors should prepare for quiet, contemplative moments and should respect traditional conduct such as remaining silent during services.
