Church of the Epiphany, Eastern Orthodox church building in Yaroslavl, Russia.
The Church of the Epiphany is an Eastern Orthodox building with five onion domes rising from its central structure, designed following the architectural style typical of the Yaroslavl school. The construction uses red brick combined with white stone trim to create geometric patterns across the exterior walls.
Construction began in 1684 during a period when the region was expanding its religious buildings. This project was part of a broader movement in Orthodox architecture happening across Russia at that time.
The interior paintings show the religious beliefs that matter to Orthodox visitors who come here to pray and worship. These artworks reflect how people express their faith through the decoration and use of the space.
The church is accessible from Epiphany Square, where visitors can approach the building and its surroundings easily. Guided tours are offered to help explain the architectural features and religious significance of the space.
The building displays striking red brick patterns combined with white stone details that form geometric shapes rarely seen elsewhere in the region. This color combination was a distinctive choice that local craftspeople used to set apart their work from other structures.
