Holy Trinity Temple

On the outskirts of the city of Muroma there is the village of Karacharovo - this is the birthplace of the epic hero Ilya Muromets. He became the first and only hero of the Russian epic, which the Orthodox Church canonized after his death.

Murom land is rich in shrines, revered by the people for a long time: churches, chapels, monasteries and temples. One of them is the Holy Trinity Church, built in Karacharovo in the XII century on a hill, on the banks of the Oka River. At first, the Trinity Church was wooden. According to legend, Ilya Muromets himself laid three huge oaks at its base, which he tore up and brought.

In 1828, a stone bell tower was erected next to the wooden temple. It has three tiers, at the top, in the center of the gilded dome there is a cross. The oldest Holy Trinity Church is still active, despite the fact that work on its restoration is constantly underway.

Orthodox believers from all over Russia and other countries come here regularly to pray and touch the real shrines of the Russian land.
