The overlay chapel of Ilia Muromets

karacharovo village, Murom city, Vladimir region, Russia

Description:

In Karacharovo, under the hill on which the Trinity Church rises, there is an overlay chapel of Ilya Muromets. This hexagonal, wooden chapel is also called Ilyinskaya, since the local places are considered the birthplace of the epic hero. It was built in 2007 over the spring, which was known to local residents for a long time.

This place has long been a chapel, standing on four wooden pillars, gradually collapsing, by the 1960s it became inactive. The new, rebuilt building of the chapel in the name of St. Ilya Muromets has one dome with a cross above the headboard. Inside, icons are installed on the walls, candles are lit.

After the revival of the monastery, to the chapel and the nearby spring with a bath, the flow of Orthodox believers does not dry up. Healing holy water heals people from many ailments, fills with vitality and strengthens faith.
