Church of the Derzhavnaya Icon of the Theotokos in Chertanovo

The Church of the Derzhavnaya Icon of the Theotokos features multiple onion domes, white walls, and traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements throughout its structure.

The church construction started in 2002, during a period of religious renewal in Russia following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

The church houses the Derzhavnaya Icon, which depicts the Mother of God wearing imperial regalia and holding symbols of authority.

Regular Divine Liturgy services take place at the church, with additional ceremonies conducted during major Orthodox Christian holidays and feast days.

The church maintains the tradition of icon painting workshops where students learn methods of creating religious images according to Orthodox canons.
