The Resurrection Church on the Debra: a gift of a merchant

Temples and places of worship • Cathedrals and churches • Other places

In the XIII century Prince Vasily ordered to build a temple in the thickets near the river, which the locals called the wilds. So, in Kostroma the centuries-old history of the Resurrection Church on the Debra began. According to the legend, a stone church instead of a wooden one was built in this place in the XVII century by a merchant who traded leather. He donated money for the construction of the temple, which he accidentally found in one of the barrels with paint for leather.

The Resurrection Church on the Debra stands on a ground floor. It was open to parishioners even in the Soviet times. Now at the church there is a women's monastery, a modest medical center and an asylum for the poor. The church attracts tourists with a festive view: rich tiles, bright colors, expressive carvings, wonderful figures of mythological animals and plants, among which the symbols of Resurrection: a lion, a siren, an eagle, a tawny owl and a unicorn. Pilgrims come here to bow to the ancient icons of the XVII century.
