On the territory of the convent, attracting the eyes, stands the beautiful Kazan Cathedral. The history of the temple is closely connected with the icon of the Kazan Mother of God. In 1579, a resident of the city of Romanov went to worship in Kazan, praying to the Mother of God for healing. It was.
Gifted and Gerasim, so called the pilgrim, brought a list of this icon in his city Romanov.
There was trouble. The Poles are here. What they could, they destroyed, and more – they robbed, and they took more or less valuable things with them. The salary of the icon was richly decorated, so that the Catholic lieutenant Lyubsky without hesitation took the Orthodox icon with him. Yes, fortunately, learned about this Yaroslavl merchant Vasily Lytkin. He bought the icon. The miracles began immediately. First, the Virgin appeared in a dream to the deacon of the Holy Cross Church. She told them to build a temple for the image of Kazansky.
Promised protection and favor. That’s what happened. The Poles, who had been besieging the city for several weeks, closed the camp and left. In gratitude for the salvation, Yaroslavl immediately began the construction of the cathedral. The building was wooden and has not survived to this day. It wasn’t just the icon that found shelter. Together with the cathedral, the citizens built cells for the nuns of the Nativity Monastery, which was burned by the Poles.
On the site of a wooden church, in 1649, construction of a stone temple began. For 200 years, it pretty dilapidated and in the 19th century it was rebuilt. Its walls were decorated with rich paintings.
Unfortunately, in 1918 the cathedral was closed. The property was removed, and it disappeared without a trace.
Destroyed the bell tower, damaged the inside of the church. The building would have completely collapsed, but the protector of the Mother of God again defended the building — they gave it to the archive. The documents required compliance with the temperature regime, cleanliness and dryness. Well, rebuilt and dilapidated, but
The building has survived. In 2001, divine services resumed in the Kazan Cathedral. The icon of the Kazan Mother of God is a list from the original. It was made by nuns during the existence of the monastery, in 1881. Restoration of the walls ended in 2007. Now the wonderful frescoes of the cathedral again please the eyes of parishioners.
