A holy and historical place! The history of the Temple is really amazing and significant for the Orthodox! And realizing that Kings and Queens prayed in this Temple, it is generally significant! After all, They were sent to us by God Himself! According to legend, the wooden church of St. Elijah the Prophet was built around 1460 at the behest of King and Grand Duke Casimir IV in memory of the rescue of his wife Elizabeth, who almost drowned.
And in 1706, the Russian Tsar Peter I prayed in the temple, granting victory to the Russian Army against the Swedes. And the Temple itself disappeared from the face of the Earth more than once, and then, precisely by the Will of God, it was again, as if by His Invisible Hands, Erected on this Earth, from ashes for people! The energy in the Temple is Divine! Everything is radiant with an invisible Divine presence! A Holy Place that has been Prayed for and Suffered by Fathers and Mothers for Centuries! In general, Orsha itself, the Orsha Clergy, has a very interesting history, as the Orsha Monks from the Kuteensky Monastery moved to Valdai during the persecution and helped build the Iversky Monastery on Valdai, taught and developed printing there, and many other stories. And God grant for Their Blessed deeds ! I recommend you to visit and get in touch with the Age-old history and Piety, there is a certain inexplicable, invisible and intangible Purity here! AMEN TO THAT!

A very beautiful and picturesque place! Peace and grace! There is a shop with church paraphernalia. If you don't know something, the girl working there will tell you everything.
It's a pity there's no photo, you'd fall in love. It's worth visiting there once and you'll want more)

You enter the temple and find yourself in another world: frescoes, ancient icons. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to Communion. I like to sit in the courtyard of the temple. Cleanliness, tranquility, a place where you can calmly think and reflect..
