The introduced church in Barashy

The church appeared in the XV century. Previously, in its place was the Savior-Andronic Monastery. Then the land was bought by Ivan III, and a small church of Elijah the Prophet remained from the monastery. After some time around the monastery formed a small settlement called Barashi. Translated as "soft junk." Here mainly settled servants of kings and other secular lords. At the same time, two stone churches were built in the settlement, one of which was called Vvedenskaya. In 1660 there was a school at the temple.

In 1701 the church was rebuilt. It was made in the classical style of Moscow Baroque with columns, kokoshniks and high tiers. After that, the monastery burned several times, then rebuilt.

During the Soviet period, the church, like all Orthodox communities, was closed. All the icons were given to the Tretyakov Gallery, and the temple was demolished. When the walls were broken, they found gold crosses and chains.

Full restoration of the church was completed by 1993.
