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.

The first traces of a religious building on this site date to the 13th century. The present church was built between 1684 and 1693 with funds from Alexei Avraamovich Zubchaninov, a merchant of the Gostinaya Sotnya. It was consecrated on 2 July 1693 by Ioasaf, Metropolitan of Rostov. After a fire in 1753 the wooden domes were replaced with new ones of baroque form.

The wall paintings date from 1693, the year the church was consecrated by Metropolitan Joasaph of Rostov. Their authorship is unknown, and stylistic differences suggest two separate teams of painters worked on them. In the 1800s Semyon Zavyazoshnikov repainted the lower tier in glue-based technique.

The church stands on Epiphany Square in the historic centre of Yaroslavl, on the square named after it. The main cube is lit by nine tall windows, and the south aisle of Saint Demetrius of Prilutsk and the north aisle of the Last Judgement open off it. The bell tower is detached from the main block, so walk around the building to see the tiled facade bands and the tiers of kokoshniks.

The exact date of the wall paintings is unknown; an inscription in the altar near the high place records only the consecration by Joasaph, Metropolitan of Rostov, on 2 July 1693. Stylistic unevenness suggests two different artels worked on them. In the 1800s Semyon Stepanovich Zavyazoshnikov renewed the lower tier in glue technique.
