The village of Bogolyubovo is located 10 versts east of Vladimir, near the Bogolyubov Monastery. The first church in Bogolyubovo was built at an unknown time, however, the patriarchal records of 1628 mention the church of Saints Joachim and Anna in the village, belonging to the Bogolyubov Monastery. The census books of 1645-1647, known as the 'letters and measures of Prince Grigory Shekhonsky', note that the church was wooden and contained icons, candles, books, vestments, bells, and other church property. On the church land were the houses of priest Fyodor Savin, deacon Levka Ilyin, and prosphora-baker Mariytsa, daughter of Markelov. In 1687, the same church with a wooden bell tower still stood here.

In 1703, a new church was built, consecrated in honor of the same saints. At that time, priest Timofey served, who received a new antimins from the patriarchal order. The exact time of existence of this church is unknown, but from the church foundation charter of 1819, issued by Bishop Ksenofont, it follows that at the beginning of the 19th century, there were two dilapidated wooden churches in Bogolyubovo: one in honor of the Nativity of Christ, the other in honor of Joachim and Anna. In their place, the current stone two-story church was built. The altar in the lower floor was consecrated in 1830, and in the upper one, in 1857. Later, a stone bell tower was erected. The church has two altars: in the upper floor in honor of Joachim and Anna, in the lower one, in honor of the Nativity of Christ. In the lower church, ancient icons have been preserved, transferred from the old wooden church, including the icon of the Not-Made-By-Hands Savior, according to tradition, from the former cemetery church. The other icons were painted by a local artist.

Church documents, including copies of metric books from 1802 and confession lists from 1829, are kept in perfect order. The church has 27 desyatinas of arable land, 6 desyatinas of hayfields, and about 1 desyatina of homestead land. The clergy staff includes a priest and a psalmist. Their maintenance includes income from services, interest from capital of 2600 rubles, and income from land, totaling about 880 rubles per year. The clergy houses are located on church land.

The parish includes only the village of Bogolyubovo, where the clerical records list 552 men and 591 women. The village has a public school, opened in 1842 by the local deacon. Initially, it was located in peasant houses, and now it is in a special stone building by the church and is funded by the zemstvo.
