The first mention of the Assumption Church is found in the chronicle of 1655. A few years earlier, local prince Ivan Semenovich Prozorovsky, on the eve of a difficult battle with the Poles, prayed all night in front of the Tikhvin icon Mother of God and the next day he won the battle. After this event, in the village of Durnevo, the prince ordered the erection of a wooden church in honor of the Tikhvin Mother of God with two chapels - the Apostles Peter and Paul and Nicholas the Wonderworker. At the same time, the prince turned to the tsar with a request to rename the village, calling it in honor of his patron Peter - Petrovsky.
After 30 years, the wooden temple fell into disrepair, and a beautiful stone church was built in its place. It was consecrated on May 15, 1688, which was written on a cast-iron board mounted on the wall of the temple near the main entrance: “This Temple of the Assumption Holy Mother of God built with the diligence of Boyar Prince Peter Ivanovich Prozorovsky and his daughter Princess Anastasia Petrovna Golitsyna, began with the laying of the 18th day of May 1684 and consecrated on the 15th of May 1688 by Patriarch Joachim in the presence of the Sovereign Tsar Ivan Alekseevich and the Empress Tsarina Praskovya Feodorovna, Princess Sophia Alekseevna and her sisters" .
Over the 250 years that this stone church stood in Petrovskoye, it was visited by several Russian tsars: Peter I, his daughter Elizaveta Petrovna, and later Alexander II and Alexander III with his wife Maria Fedorovna and heir Nicholas.
The fate of the temple is closely connected with the Petrovskoye estate, which in the 18th - 19th centuries, thanks to Prince F.N. Golitsyn, it became one of the cultural centers of the Moscow region. Even after the revolution of 1917, the estate was not destroyed, like most other “noble nests”, but was turned into, first, a temporary colony for street children, then a branch of the Moscow Institute of Infectious Diseases named after I.I. Mechnikov, and later - a boarding house of the USSR Ministry of Health. For some time, in the 20s, the “Museum of Noble Life” was located there.
But the temple could not stand. It all started with the fact that in 1938, the last rector, priest Pyotr Golubev, was arrested and charged: “It is sufficiently exposed that he systematically carries out malicious anti-Soviet agitation among the surrounding population, expresses regret about the enemies of the people.” The priest was shot at the Butovo training ground near Moscow. In 1939, the temple was destroyed to the ground.
All events related to our activities are the work of the parishioners,” says the rector of the church, Father Anthony, “residents of the village. Petrovo-Dalneye and adjacent villages. Now we are working to restore the stone temple. Every effort was made to develop this project so that the result would be a recreation of the lost shrine. The constructed temple will not be visually different from the old one, with the exception of the color of the roof, the shape of the crosses and, perhaps, some other small details. The interior arrangement will be completely different - the way our construction board of trustees wants to see it, and the way the Diocesan Department for the Construction and Restoration of Churches can approve it.
There is a Sunday school at the temple, and ministers also conduct regular holiday events for children and parents.
For example, an Easter children's holiday on the territory of the Assumption Church was held on May 1, two weeks after Easter, when warm sunny weather set in. Then about a hundred children of different ages gathered with their parents. The holiday began with an Easter prayer service for children, after which Father Anthony talked with the children about the resurrection of Christ.
Then everyone moved to the park area of the temple, where Sunday school teachers, together with active parents, organized games and competitions for the children. Children rolled eggs down a slide, did archery, went through obstacle courses, put together puzzles of varying difficulty and completed various tasks blindfolded.
The youngest participants caught fish and collected balls. And adults could shoot with an air rifle in an organized shooting range for adults and ride a horse. And after the games, everyone went for lunch - to treat themselves to soup and pilaf, cooked in large 40-liter cauldrons over a fire.
The temple is open daily from 9:00 to 12:00, and also during additional services, which are held according to the schedule on the website https://uspenie.orthodoxy.ru
