Commemorative Cross of the Destroyed Temple of the Holy Martyr Paraskeva

Commemorative cross, in honor of the destroyed in 1936 at the confluence of the rivers Lubia and Okhta Temple of St. Martyr Paraskeva.

In 1832, on the site of the old temple of the prophet Elijah, a stone chapel of the martyr Paraskeva was built. At this place, for a long time after the dismantling of the wooden temple of Elijah the prophet, the chapel of Dmitry Rostov was preserved, which became an independent warm church. It was dismantled for dilapidation not earlier than 1816. In 1824, the first wooden chapel of the Martyr Paraskeva appeared here, eight years later it was replaced by a stone chapel (Arch. A. E. Staubert).

In 1936 the temple was closed and destroyed.
