Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Kosino

Фото 1
The first wooden church dedicated to the Uncreated Image of the Savior was built in 1643 according to the church foundation decree from August 13 of the same year. The 1654 census by Karaulev mentions the Kosinsky burial site. On April 6, 1660, a blessed decree was issued for the construction of a new wooden Savior Church to replace the old one, with an altar in honor of the holy righteous Alexius, a man of God. In 1667, Bishop Alexander granted permission for the consecration of the newly built church. It is likely that in the 1660s, there were two wooden churches in the village: the cold Savior Church and the warm Alexius Church. In 1758, a petition was submitted for the construction of a stone church on the site of the dilapidated wooden Savior Church with the same Alexius altar.

The stone church was built in 1768. After its completion, a decree from the Spiritual Consistory on December 10, 1768, allowed for the dismantling of the wooden church. The altar church was consecrated on January 15, 1769, and the main altar of the cold church in 1779. In 1882, the church was dismantled, and from 1883 to 1891, a new stone church was built. It has three altars: the main one in honor of the Uncreated Image of the Savior was consecrated on September 2, 1891, the right one in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God on February 9, 1899, and the left one in honor of St. Alexius, a man of God, on August 13, 1901. The Savior Church is located 120 versts from Vyatka, 90 versts from the district town, and 25 versts from the deanery.

At the parish cemetery, there is a stone church built in 1838 according to the church foundation decree from May 27, 1825, with an altar in honor of the Holy Trinity. An auxiliary church at the Ryazantsev factory, also stone, was built in 1896-1897 and consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

The Savior Church houses a copy of the church foundation decree from Patriarch Joseph from 1643, an ancient eight-pointed cross, and an old icon of the Uncreated Image of the Savior.

On July 25, 1878, Bishop Apollos visited the village, inspecting the church, its relics, and the parish cemetery. Boys and girls from the local zemstvo school gathered in the church.

In 1932, the bells were removed from the Nicholas Church. The church stood until the Great Patriotic War, during which its building was used as a cafeteria and garage. Evacuated workers built a paper machine, and the church was dismantled, using the bricks for construction.

In early 2005, a new church in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker began construction on the site of the former Nicholas Church. The height of the new church with the cross is 25 meters, designed for 100 people. In early June 2005, the rite of laying the consecrated stone in the wall of the building church was performed. On September 18, 2005, the consecration and installation of the dome and cross took place.
