This church is one of the lucky few to survive the Stalin era, with the original frescos beautifully intact. Not to be missed if in Yaroslavl.
This a very quaint church in the town of Yaroslavl and was a part of our excursion for a day trip on the Viking River Cruise.
Muito bonita por fora a Igreja do profeta Elias de Yaroslavl construída entre 1647 – 1650. O interior é maravilhoso, a iconóstase é uma das mais lindas que já vi, sem falar nos frescos da igreja, da capela e das duas galerias que fazem parte do inteiro complexo. Simplesmente imperdível.
Расположен в центре и недалеко от набережной. Очень красиво подсвечен вечером. К сожалению, внутрь попасть не удалось
There are many beautiful and interesting sights to see in Yaroslavl, a very charming city along the Volga and its tributaries between Moscow and St. Petersburg. On the evidence of my all-too-short visit to this city, this church –– known in English as the Church of St. Elijah the Prophet –– is the most interesting and worthwhile to visit. Beautiful enough on the outside, the inside is truly spectacular, even by the standards of the many other beautiful Russian churches and cathedrals we have seen on our trip to Russia. The icons are quite old, dating from the mid-17th century, and almost miraculously preserved through the Communist revolutionary period and years of Soviet rule. Well worth a visit!
This church is worth a visit, it is in the old main square near the Volga. I have been here a number of times and it is just a really peaceful place to visit, costs about 70 rubles and if the weather is nice it's great just to sit on a bench outside.
Какая же красота! Можно рассматривать часами! Очень красивые фрески на стенах. Жалко, что это не постоянно действующий собор. Обязательно посетите эту церковь!
Сразу не понравилось, что это музей и надо платить за вход. Как-то для храма это нехорошо. Состояние хорошее. всё восстановлено, отреставрировано, но именно церковного здесь мало. Храм этот стоит напротив начальственного квартала, поэтому всегда был в хорошем состоянии.
As you approach the church from the outside, the exterior is nothing special, but once inside, the 17th century frescoes just get better and better the deeper you go into the church. The colour and clarity is breath-taking and the icon wall is equally impressive. There is a lot to take in, as the frescoes really are from floor to ceiling. I paid for a photo permit at the cash desk - a decision I'm sure you too will consider worth it once inside. This unassuming little church really is the gem of Yaroslavl.
Built in 1647-50 by two local merchants, the church faces the main square of central Yaroslavl. Interiors were painted by a team of 15 people and show domestic life in the 19th century. If you are lucky, you will be treated to acapella singers who sang one religious and the Volga Boat Song for us. Absolutely not to be missed!
