Armenian Church of the Holy Resurrection

The Armenian Church of the Holy Resurrection features traditional stone carvings, including depictions of angels and saints at its entrance and interior dome illustrations of evangelists.

Founded in 1815 by the Lazarev brothers, the church remained the only functioning Armenian religious building in Moscow after 1917 when two other Armenian churches were demolished.

The church houses numerous religious artifacts, including ten icons depicting Christ, the Mother of God Saint Hripsime, and the apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew.

Three separate candle lighting sections are positioned at the main entrance and sides of the church building, while no candle space exists inside the structure.

During the Soviet period, the building served as a granite workshop, and its memorial house was used to store coffins before returning to religious service in 1956.
