The Temple of the Mother of God

The village of Bolshaya Afanasovo was founded at the end of the XVII century, already in the middle of the XVIII century there was a parish here. The present stone two-chaired church was built at the expense of parishioners and benefactors in 1817 on the site of the former wooden church. The main throne was consecrated in honor of the feast of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God, and the chapel was consecrated in the name of the Holy Life-giving Trinity. Closed in the early 1930s. The Pokrovsky church, which is a significant architectural monument of the classical period, was returned to the Kazan diocese in the late 1980s and restored at the expense of Nizhnekamskneftekhim and parishioners. Reconsecrated in 1990. Among the parishioners of the Intercession Church are Russians and Kryas. Divine services in the temple are performed daily.
