ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A religious rite in the Old Believer Orthodox Church, a special prayer in which they ask or thank for a specific issue.
The huge building of the temple (cathedral) was built at the beginning of the XX century in a small Russian town, Borovsk.
After the revolution, the church was taken away from the faithful and adapted for bus repairs.
At the beginning of the XXI century, after the collapse of the USSR, the building was returned to believers almost destroyed. And people set themselves a goal – to revive the majestic cathedral. And they started collecting money. In the meantime, they were looking for finances, held separate services and prayer services in the church.
