Church of the Nativity of Christ, Orthodox church in Mytishchi, Russia

The Church of the Nativity of Christ is a Russian Orthodox church on Novomytishchinsky Prospekt 6 in central Mytishchi, built from 2001 to 2005. It stands in the traditional Russian Orthodox style with five onion domes, and its interior is decorated with frescoes and icons. The complex covers 1,500 square metres and includes a ground floor with a crypt, choirs, apses and a bell tower.

In 2000, for the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ, Mytishchi decided to build a church in the city centre on the site of an abandoned quarry. Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsy and Kolomna consecrated the foundation stone that summer. A wooden church hosted the first liturgy on 5 December 2000; construction of the stone church began in November 2001 and it was consecrated on 10 July 2005.

The church is dedicated to the Nativity of Christ, with side altars to the Cathedral of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia and to St. Matrona of Moscow. Its interior holds an iconostasis with icons, choirs and apses, and the building is decorated with frescoes in the Russian Orthodox manner. The first liturgy was served on 5 December 2000 in a wooden church on the site, later demolished.

The church stands at Novomytishchinsky Prospekt 6, in the city centre, on the site of a former abandoned quarry. It is an active parish of the Sergiev Posad diocese, so services take place regularly and visitors should dress modestly and keep quiet during them. The grounds are entered from the avenue side.

The church stands on the edge of an old abandoned quarry, on the vacant lot where Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsy and Kolomna consecrated a symbolic foundation stone in summer 2000. Before the brick church rose, a wooden church served the parish: the first liturgy was held there on 5 December 2000, and the wooden building was later dismantled.
