In July 2018, when the contractors on sites of construction of communications and improvement of the Park “Novoslobodskaya” in Moscow was found the tombstone cross the end of the XIX-th – early XX century, discovered the fragments, and other relics preserved basement of the temple of the Three Holy Hierarchs, which was destroyed in the 30-ies of the last century.

Basement escaped destruction, but was filled with construction debris and earth, the top covered brick vygostky and covered with turf.

Prikhod khrama vsemilostivogo Spasa filed a petition for recognition of the uncovered basement of the cultural heritage and the possible organization of it after the excavation and repair — Museum of Church archeology. This idea was supported by the Department of cultural heritage of Moscow.

However, according to the plan of reconstruction of the Park, the place where she found the temple should be a stage for entertainment, dance, concerts, etc.

Builders in a hurry to pass the object and try to resume excavation and construction work. They continue to lay concrete stairs, entering the excavation site. If you leave it unattended. it is likely that the site will cover the ground and put a wooden platform for dancing.

The parish Church has repeatedly offered to make changes to the project, but did not find understanding on the part of the company Mosavtodor.

We can’t afford to abuse the Orthodox Shrine! The parish is on duty around the CLOCK on the archaeological works, in order to prevent blasphemy. In the Park “Novoslobodskaya” (Moscow, St. Novoslobodskaya, Mendeleevskaya, Savelovskaya, entrance from the side of the Suschevsky shaft) held a prayer service Three Ecumenical Hierarchs – Basil the Great, Gregory the theologian, John Chrysostom, in whose honor the temple was built.
