Pavlovsky Posad cityStory. The Church of the Resurrection of the Word traces its history back to the first one in the vicinity of the village. Vokhna (now Pavlovsky Posad) wooden church. It was erected by St. blgv. book Demetrius of Donskoy during his ownership of the Vokhon volost from 1341 to 1389, consecrated in the name of Demetrius of Thessalonica. In the 15th century on the same place a wooden church was built in the name of St. George the Victorious. During the Time of Troubles, both temples were destroyed by foreigners. In 1665, a church in honor of the Resurrection of Christ was mentioned at this place. In 1703-1710 A stone Resurrection Church with chapels in the name of the Great Martyr was built. Demetrius of Thessaloniki and St. Sergius of Radonezh.
In 1784, a son was born into the family of the psalmist of the Resurrection Church, Dimitry Egorov, who was later glorified as Saint Innocent of Penza. In the 1840s. A bell tower and a refectory were added to the temple; later, due to expansion, it could accommodate up to five thousand people. In 1860-1869 the headman of the temple was one of the founders of the Pavlovsk manufactory, Vasily Ivanovich Gryaznov. Nowadays, righteous Vasily of Pavlovo-Posadsky is glorified as a locally revered saint of the Moscow diocese; he was also the founder of the Intercession-Vasilievsky Monastery.
Because of its grandeur, the temple was often called a cathedral. In 1891, a chiming clock with a German mechanism was installed on the bell tower, playing several melodies. These chimes are still a landmark of the city today; they are monitored by experienced watchmakers. Since 1930, the clergy of the temple was persecuted, and Hieromartyr Alexy (Vorobyov) suffered martyrdom. In 1936, the temple was first handed over to the renovationists, then closed.

Pavlovsky Posad— a cozy provincial town 60 kilometers from Moscow. Like any other city in the Moscow region, Pavlovsky Posad is developing and improving, the appearance of the city is changing. But no matter how the world around changes, antiquity still lives here - dear wooden houses and architectural monuments remain: the Intercession-Vasilievsky Monastery, the Bell Tower of the Resurrection Cathedral. Soviet times also left a noticeable mark on the fate of this city.
When it comes to Pavlovsky Posad, one immediately thinks of painted scarves that provide warmth in any cold weather. But besides scarves, Pavlovsky Posad has something to be proud of.
Not so long ago, the implementation of a project began in Pavlovsky Posad under the working title “Russian Skansen” or “Pavlovsky Posad - an open-air city museum.” The idea involves the creation of a large pedestrian zone with buildings traditional for a Russian merchant city. In general, a start has already been made, as can be seen from the posters hanging around the city.
Our journey through Pavlovsky Posad begins from the station.
The Pavlovsky Posad station is located 67.4 kilometers from the Kursky railway station. The train gets to Moscow in 1 hour 20 minutes.
Herzen Street in Pavlovsky Posad
Let's take a walk to the central park and see how the city lives. When moving from the station, you can get there by turning from Herzen Street onto Volodarsky. Along the way is the modest Pavlov-Posad registry office.
The groom faces a difficult test.
Judging by the predominance of standard design houses “Khrushchev” in the city, in the 50s - 70s. Pavlovsky Posad was actively built up.
The Soviet spirit is literally in everything here: in monuments, houses, inscriptions.
Today, the city is also widely engaged in the construction of new houses, including for the purpose of relocating residents from dilapidated housing into them.
Central Park of Pavlovsky Posad
The Central Park of Culture and Recreation also evokes a surge of 90s nostalgia. However, many park areas in Russia are guilty of this.
The Park of Culture and Recreation of Pavlovsky Posad is the main gathering place for the city’s youth and young mothers with children.
For children there are brand new playgrounds.
And play areas.
Surely every third child of Pavlovsky Posad has a photograph with this wolf in his personal collection.
Or with this.
For older people, the park has a gazebo for leisurely time and contemplation.
There is also a summer cafe... Titino?
The park stage hosts discos, animation and entertainment programs.
The main decoration of the park is, of course, the fountain!
Museum of Pavlovsky Posad
Pavlovsky Posad is little known outside the region, except for locally produced scarves and shawls. You can get acquainted with the history and development of the textile industry, which determined the ancient appearance of the city, in local museums. One of them is called “Stories of the Russian Shawl and Shawl.” But we will look at another museum - the historical and artistic museum, where you can get a general idea not only about the production of scarves, but also about the history, sights of the city, its heroes and outstanding personalities.
Today the museum occupies the building of a small, nice one-story mansion.
Next to the museum is... the Eiffel Tower.
A copy of a world-scale landmark was installed in the city in Soviet times, when a Russian-French society was formed in Pavlovsky Posad, which founded the largest weaving factory, the brick buildings of which are still impressive in their size. And the block itself with brick buildings was popularly dubbed “Paris”.
The exhibition in the museum is divided into several halls from the history of the city from the time of mammoths to outstanding compatriots who wrote music or flew into space.
And here are the mammoths themselves.
One of the halls houses a collection of miniature tanks.
The collection contains dozens of plastic exhibits, which are small copies of models of equipment from the Second World War.
In the photo below, in the center, is one of the best tanks of World War II - the legendary T-34. The museum's collection includes several modifications of the T-34. In the collection you can find other equally famous tanks: T-35, Soviet self-propelled artillery unit SU-100, Soviet tank destroyer ISU-122, etc.
Exposition “Pavlovsky Posad at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries”
With the development and growth of local textile enterprises, with an increase in trade turnover, fashionable innovations appear in the everyday life of the Posad townspeople: a wardrobe instead of a chest - styling; a chest of drawers with a mirror instead of a samovar polished to a mirror shine: fashion magazines and socio-political and literary magazines; more sophisticated types of dishes and kitchen utensils instead of homemade crocks and pots. The photo below shows the interior of the living room of a tradesman in Pavlovsky Posad from the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries.

Revolution Square in Pavlovsky Posad
Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street ends with Revolution Square with a monument to V.I. Lenin.

At the entrance to the square from Pavlovskaya Street there is a bronze bust of twice Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut V.F. Bykovsky. He visited space three times. The bust appeared here on June 14, 1983, to mark the 20th anniversary of his first space flight. In Pavlovsky Posad there is a street named after V.F. Bykovsky.
Behind the monument you can see the stone five-domed Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The temple was built in 1901 at the expense of the city elder Fyodor Porfiryevich Manaev, and was popularly called Manaevskaya.
Monument dedicated to the birth of the city of Pavlovsky-Posad

It included the village of Pavlovo and the villages of Dubrovo, Zakharovo, Melenki and Usovo. It is interesting that in the oral speech of modern city residents, the names of these former villages are often used to designate one or another section of the territory of the current city, an unofficial area.
Leo Tolstoy Street in Pavlovsky Posad
Revolution Square smoothly flows into Lev Tolstoy Street. Already from here you can see the main church landmark of the city and one of the tallest buildings in Pavlovsky Posad - the Bell Tower of the Resurrection Cathedral.
On the left side is a memorial to those who fell for Soviet power.
Cute houses.
Along its length, the street crosses the Vokhonka River.
The river is very small and calm, however, the original settlement located at this place was named after this river.
From documents of the 16th century, the village of Pavlovo (the ancestor of the current city), located on the banks of the Vokhna or Vokhonka River, actually bore the name Vokhna at the same time. However, in Kalita's charter it is about the volost named after the river. As the research of Doctor of Historical Sciences V.A. Kuchkin shows, the overwhelming majority of the names of ancient Moscow volosts are derived from hydronyms - the names of rivers; A similar feature of the names of ancient volosts sharply distinguishes them from the names of settlements.
Nearby there is a small cast-iron bridge - newlyweds come here after the registry office to hang their castle as a sign of the eternity of the marriage.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Resurrection Cathedral was the only parish church for residents of the entire city and many surrounding villages. The population of Pavlovsky Posad increased and over time the monastery could no longer accommodate all the parishioners. In 1902, local residents asked the governor: “Help, Your Excellency, in building a church, there is an extreme need for another church, which was observed on Easter Sunday and Holy Easter, the crowding is terrible, many cannot fit into the church and stood outside.” So, on the initiative of the parishioners, with the light hand of the city elder Manaev, a second parish church appeared - ts.

An even greater change in the external and internal appearance of the temple occurred in 1860, when, under church warden Vasily Ivanovich Gryaznov, a real extensive one was built on the site of the small former Resurrection altar, and the side altars were moved in line with the present one and the temple was expanded to the south and north sides along 15 arshin. The same change occurred in 1875, when, under church warden Yakov Ivanovich Labzin, a second dome was built on the refectory with a change in the type of its roof. The internal improvement and decoration of the temple proceeded as consistently as the external one. In terms of its amenities and splendor, the Resurrection Church can be considered one of the best provincial churches. In 1899, work began on the restoration of wall paintings, which were replaced by artistic works and were executed by the famous artist Ya.E. Epaneshnikov.
The temple was closed back in the 1920s. The last rector was Fr. Nikolai Rusinov, At that time, not only the clergy themselves were persecuted, but also members of the clergy’s families. Son o. Nicholas, Ivan, served 10 years in the Solovetsky camp. Immediately after closing, the temple began to be destroyed. A bathhouse was built from the bricks of its fence in 1926. In the 40s. XX century The ceilings rotted and the dome collapsed, after which the walls were dismantled. Next to the bell tower there is a stone column-chapel, marking the place where the altar of the first wooden church, built by the holy noble prince Dmitry Donskoy, was located. At the temple, with funds from the Cyril and Methodius Society, a parochial school was maintained (since 1905, a two-class mixed school), the director of which was Archpriest Pavel Dobroklonsky. The cathedral psalmist Tikhon Mikhailovich Troitsky (author of a book about Pavlovo Posad churches) taught there. When the parochial school was transformed into a girls' gymnasium, the Law of God was led by Fr. Ilya Popov. The church elders were the most respected people in the city, the creators of the famous Pavlovsk scarves Vasily Ivanovich Gryaznov and Yakov Ivanovich Labzin. On May 12, 1918, an uprising against the Bolsheviks began in Pavlovsky Posad. The crowd surrounded the Council building, its guards fired back. The cathedral bell rang alarmingly. The Council building was set on fire, all the besieged died. On the same day, armed detachments from Bogorodsk, Orekhovo-Zuev, and Drezny arrived in Pavlovsky Posad. Arrests and executions of residents began. The clergy of the Resurrection Church were the first to suffer.
In 1939, the Cathedral was closed and turned over to ammunition depots. Some time later, most of the Temple was destroyed by an explosion. All that remains of the three-aisle temple with 12 domes is the bell tower. Later, the building was given to the city local history museum, which existed until 2000. Since August 2002, the rector of the temple has been priest Alexander Sergeevich Kuvshinnikov. The church has a Sunday school and a summer playground.

The Church of the Resurrection of the Word (formerly the Resurrection Cathedral) traces its history back to the first wooden church in the vicinity of the village of Vokhna (now Pavlovsky Posad), which was erected over the Vokhonka River by the holy noble prince Dimitry Donskoy during his ownership of the Vokhna volost from 1340 to 1389. and consecrated in the name of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica.
In the 15th century Another temple was built on the same site - in the name of the Great Martyr George the Victorious, built in the 17th century. chapel in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh. During the Time of Troubles, wooden churches were destroyed by foreigners, and in the scribe books for 1665 only a new church in honor of the Resurrection of Christ is mentioned.
In 1703, construction began on the stone Resurrection Church with chapels in the name of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki and St. Sergius of Radonezh. In 1710 the church was consecrated.
In 1784, a son was born into the family of the psalmist of the Resurrection Church, Dimitry Egorov, who was later glorified as Saint Innocent of Penza.
In 1838-1939 the temple was supplemented with a refectory and a bell tower. Subsequently, the church was expanded, and it could accommodate up to five thousand people. Starting from the times of Peter the Great, the staff of the temple was ensured in all respects.
From 1860 to 1869 The headman of the church was one of the founders of the Pavlovsk shawl manufactory, Vasily Ivanovich Gryaznov, now glorified as the locally revered saint of the Moscow diocese, righteous Vasily Pavlovo-Posadsky. He was the founder of the Intercession-Vasilievsky Monastery. His companion and relative, Yakov Ivanovich Labzin, took over from him the position of headman of the Resurrection Church and also worked hard to build and decorate the temple.
Because of its greatness, the temple was often called a cathedral by the people. It was famous for its choir and bell ringing. In 1887, the Society of Banner Bearers was established at the temple.
In 1891, a chiming clock with a German mechanism was installed on the bell tower, playing several melodies, including “God Save the Tsar.” These chimes are a landmark of Pavlovsky Posad, and their proper operation is monitored by a master from a dynasty of watchmakers.
Many of the priests of the cathedral suffered martyrdom during the persecution. One of them was Hieromartyr Alexy (Vorobiev). He served in the cathedral from 1930 to 1935. In 1936, the temple was handed over to the renovationists, and in 1939 it was closed. In 1944, attempts by townspeople to obtain permission to open a temple ended in failure. The huge cathedral building was used as a warehouse for grain and radio components from the Exciton plant. Under the pretext of the dilapidated state of the building, the Resurrection Cathedral was demolished in the 1950s. The bell tower with its chimes served as a home for the local history museum. The image of the bell tower began to be used as a symbol of Pavlovsky Posad.
In 1998, through the diligence of the inhabitants of the Pokrovsko-Vasilevsky Monastery, the bell tower building was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. Divine services were held in the temple. In 2002, a rector was appointed to the Church of the Resurrection of the Word (formerly the Resurrection Cathedral), and the parish began its independent life.
