The first prayer in a century.

After a century-long break in the lower church of the Resurrection Cathedral of the New Jerusalem residence, a prayer sounded in honor of the icon of Divine Mother. In 2018, on the day of remembrance Our Lady of the "Sign" icon the first sanctuary for the hundred and more years passed with the reading of an akathist in honor to this holy icon. And this has become a tradition: now water-worship services with an akathist are performed in the church every second Monday of the month.

For many years, oblivion in the era of persecution of the Church, the church was used for other purposes, and at first it was impossible to service the Liturgy. With the blessing of the Metropolitan of Kazan and Tatarstan, parishioners, philanthropists and residence volunteers carried out a major overhaul of the church. This was the next stage in the revival of the temple complex. Repair and construction work in the lower church was completed and since the fall of 2019, Divine services are being held there.

“It is great happiness to be an eyewitness and participant in this great and charitable deed. We very much hope that with God's help we will be able to revive the church, and it will again delight the believers, ”- one of the parishioners of the New Jerusalem residence shared.
