Historical background

The foundation stone for the Church of the Resurrection of Christ at Warsaw Railway Station (Varshavsky vokzal) was laid on 14 August 1894 in memory of marriage of Their Majesties. Under the auspices of the Religious and Moral Education Society, solemn laying was accompanied by a religious procession with the most revered metropolitan icons. It is noteworthy that the Society did not build a new wooden church, but moved the old one from Nikolaevskaya ulitsa (now 5 ulitsa Marata), which was consecrated on 4 December of that year. After Alexander Nevsky Temperance Society was founded in 1898, fundraising was commenced for the construction of a stone church. The construction commission was headed by Dmitry Parfyonov, a second guild merchant and a well-known philanthropist. Thanks to Parfyonov, St. John the Baptist Church (Predtechenskaya tserkov) on Vyborg Side (Vyborgskaya storona) and St. Isidore Russian-Estonian Church were also created, but it was for the timely construction of the Church of the Resurrection during the war and lack of resources that the merchant was awarded generalship by Nicholas II, bypassing the usual ranks. The exterior decoration of the Church was completed in 1914, and the next two years were devoted to interior works — oil painting was based on cartoons used for mosaics of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Khram Khrista Spasitelya). In 1930 the Church of the Resurrection of Christ was closed, and later it housed tram depot offices. Again, the Church was used for religious purposes in the summer of 1989.
