Church of Entrance to Jerusalem

The Entrance Jerusalem Church in Ryazan was built in 1550. At first the temple was built of wood. In 1676, the church burned down in a fire. The stone temple was built and consecrated in 1684. During the nineteenth century, the church was often restored. In 1918, a group of believers concluded an agreement with the state on the care of this church, after which the temple was transferred to them. In 1936 the church was closed. It was returned to believers in 1992.

On December 2, 1992, Archbishop Simon of Ryazan and Kasimov consecrated the chapel of the church in honor of the Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God. The temple was restored, the main altar of the temple was restored, which was consecrated in honor of the entrance of the Lord to Jerusalem.

The church has preserved the icon of the XVII century “Entrance to Jerusalem”. The chapel, previously located near the temple, has not survived to this day.
