Miracle of the Icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, this place was a small wooden church, consecrated in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos. After the revolt of Pugachev in 1779, a Spassky temple was erected nearby. Ufa at that time was in the center of an amazing event, sealed by historians. In that year, a miraculous icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands was brought to the city from Yelabuga by the cross procession. As the chroniclers tell, when the believers passed the church of the Annunciation, the impression was created that the Lord does not allow carrying the shrine further. People could not budge. And only after the promise given by the people present to erect a church on the site of the stop of the miraculous icon, the image could be carried further. And in fulfillment of the vow the Orthodox together began to build a holy abode.

Stone building

So the Spassky temple appeared. Ufa in July 1821 was subjected to a terrible fire. The fire destroyed many buildings. Burned and the Annunciation and the Savior Church. But three years later, in 1824, thanks to the efforts of parishioners and priest John Nesmelov, a new Spassky temple (Ufa) was laid in their place along the Great Kazan street.

Due to inadequate means, construction lasted a very long time. More than two decades the Spassky temple was erected. In 1829, only the chapel of St. Nicholas was consecrated. And twenty years after the laying of the first stone - the main building of the Church of the Savior's Image of the Savior. And only a year later - a side-chapel, consecrated in honor of the Nativity of Christ.

Description

According to the architect's plan, the church was decided to erect "in the image" of the St. Petersburg Kazan Cathedral. In fact, from the famous original, only a few of the most general principles of composition were borrowed. It is a central dome church and two symmetrically departing colonnades, in terms of making a quarter of a circle together. Their ends, coming to the street, culminated in two similar belfries.

In the first tier of one of them was built a chapel, in the other there was a guard room. The special feature of the building of the temple is called the disrupted orientation, traditional for Christian monasteries. Seeking to open the frontage to the street, the builders were forced to turn the altar part to the north, and not to the east. The facade was decorated with a colonnade and two bell-towers along the edges. The Spassky temple (Ufa) was decorated only in 1892 with painting. The iconostasis was written in Moscow.

In the Soviet years

After the revolution, the Church of the Savior suffered very badly. It was completely destroyed and as an object for religious worship of people, and as an architectural structure. By the decision of the Presidium of the party in 1929 the church was closed. Another solution was to use it as an economic building. Initially, the hostel of the technical school was arranged in the building of the church, and then the Cinematography Directorate of the Bashkir SSR moved here. And already in the forties there were carpentry workshops. Almost all the frescoes of the temple were destroyed. And only in 1992 it was decided to transfer the completely empty building of the temple to the balance of the Ufa diocese.
