Stephen of Perm chapel, Orthodox chapel in Perm, Russia.

The Stephen of Perm chapel exhibits traditional Russian Orthodox architecture with its prominent dome and decorated entrance elements that characterize religious structures of the region.

The chapel honors Saint Stephen of Perm, who created the Old Permic alphabet and served as the first bishop of Perm after his appointment in 1383.

The building stands as a testament to the conversion of Komi people to Christianity, representing the intersection of Russian Orthodox faith with indigenous traditions.

The chapel functions as both a religious monument and an educational site where visitors can learn about regional history through informational displays and guided tours.

Within the chapel, visitors discover the story of Stephen's innovative approach to missionary work, including his creation of a writing system based on Komi embroidery patterns.
