Holy Trinity church, Lyubertsy, Eastern Orthodox church in Lyubertsy, Russia.
Holy Trinity Church is a religious building in Lyubertsy constructed with traditional Orthodox features including domes and decorative details. The structure displays characteristic elements of sacred architecture through its multiple cupolas and ornamental work on the facades.
Residents of the Natashino settlement formed a committee in summer 1911 and raised 6,000 rubles for a wooden church, designed by architect Mikhail Bugrovsky. It was consecrated in 1913 by Metropolitan Vladimir of Moscow and Kolomna. The church stayed open through the Soviet period and in the 1930s was nearly the only functioning church in its district. A lightning strike caused a fire in 1977; the rebuilt dome was given gold stars on a blue ground.
Locals call it the Natashinskaya Church, after the settlement of Natashino that was absorbed into Lyubertsy. The church has three altars: the main one dedicated to the Holy Trinity, a side altar to St Nicholas, and one to the New Martyrs of Russia. A parish school for children and adults operates here, and six clergy serve the parish.
