Description
The Church of the Archangel Michael in the village of Oktyabrskoye in the Orenburg region, also known as the Ural Palestine or Little Jerusalem, is a significant religious and architectural monument. The church was built in 1888 and consecrated on October 15, 1900 in honor of the Archangel Michael, becoming the patronal feast of the village. Before the revolution, the village of Oktyabrskoye was called Isayevo-Dedovo, which is reflected in historical documents.
History of the church
The construction of the temple began in 1878 on the feast of Pentecost and lasted twelve years. The stone building of the church was surrounded by two residential buildings and four small buildings for watchmen. The total cost of construction was about 85 thousand rubles, most of which was contributed by residents of the Orenburg province and a significant contribution was made by Ivan Parfenevich Tokarev, the head of a merchant family.
The church was consecrated on October 15, 1900. In 1904, Bishop Joachim of Orenburg and the Urals visited the church and was greeted with great celebration. The church housed 550 volumes of books, and the parish included six noble families, 134 bourgeois households, and 761 peasant households.
A large stove was built to heat the church, capable of holding a whole cartload of firewood, one load of which was enough to hold a Sunday service. Currently, the stove room has been converted into Little Jerusalem with the chapels of the Nativity of Christ, the Annunciation, and the Dormition of the Mother of God.
Soviet rule
With the Bolsheviks coming to power, the church was closed on October 7, 1931, and in 1936 the building was converted into the Iskra cinema. The central dome, bells, and about 200 ancient icons were lost and looted.
Revival of the Church
The church was re-consecrated on October 29, 2000 and received the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II for further work on the improvement of the holy sites of the Ural Palestine. The restoration of the church began in 2002 and continues to this day. All the wooden windows were replaced with plastic ones, and work is underway to restore the bell tower. The church is functioning and open to parishioners, continuing to be the center of spiritual life in the region.
