This monument is installed on the site near the temple at the expense of donations and funds of members of the Board of Trustees of the Church. The author of the project was Mkhitar Sargsyan.
Euthymius of Suzdal (1316-1404) was the founder and archimandrite of the Spaso-Euphimius Monastery in Suzdal, and Makariy Zheltovodsky (1349-1444) founded the famous Zheltovodsky Makariev Monastery. They were disciples of Dionysius of Suzdal and led an ascetic life, for which they gained honor and respect among the monastic inhabitants.
From history it is known that these great holy miracle workers were born in the 14-15 centuries on the Nizhny Novgorod land and were parishioners of the Myronositsk Church.
On December 29, 2012, in this church, Archbishop George performed the Divine Liturgy and the rite of the Great Sanctification of the chapel in honor of the Monks Euthymius of Suzdal and Macarius of Zheltovodsky.
