The village of Prosenitsy is located 35 versts from the district town. According to the scribal books of 1628 and 1630, it belonged to various landowners: the Muromites Fyodor and Afanasy Arapov, as well as the Kiselyov brothers with their mother. At that time, there was a wooden church in the village dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, built by the Arapov landowners. The church had a priest, a deacon, a sexton, and a prosphora baker. The village had 2 landowner households, a household of clerks, 2 households of commoners, 9 peasant households, and 4 households of landless peasants. According to legend, an icon was found in Prosenitsy, and a temple was built at the site of its appearance, dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

The church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is also mentioned in the records of 1676, which noted the presence of the household of priest Grigory, two sexton households, 5 landowner households, 1 household of a servant, 12 peasant households, and 4 landless peasant households. This wooden church existed until 1792, when a stone temple was built in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with the funds of landowner Sergey Andreyevich Arapov, which still stands today.

Until 1863, there was also a wooden church in Prosenitsy in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The exact time of its construction is unknown, but the antimins for it was consecrated in 1761, suggesting it was built in the early second half of the 18th century. Initially, the church was a household church, but after the Arapov family ceased to exist, it fell into disrepair and was closed.

After the liberation of the peasants from serfdom, they decided to expand the stone church to establish an altar in memory of the wooden church. The residents of the village of Rozhdestvina also decided to establish an altar in the Prosenitsy church in memory of their former church. In 1862 and 1865, the refectory of the stone temple was expanded, and since then the temple has not changed.

The temple has three altars: the main one in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and in the side altars, in honor of the Nativity of Christ and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The church is well supplied with utensils, vestments, icons, and liturgical books. The altar Gospel from 1699 and a wooden altar cross covered with silver have been preserved.

According to the staff, the clergy consists of a priest and a psalmist, who receive up to 460 rubles a year from church land and services. The clergy members have their own houses on church land. The land associated with the church includes 1200 fathoms under the church and cemetery, 3 desyatinas of homestead land, 3 desyatinas of haymaking land, 30 desyatinas of arable land, and 2 desyatinas of unusable land. A plan and boundary book for the land are available. For the benefit of the clergy, 2 desyatinas of arable land near the village of Rozhdestvina have been donated. The parish includes the village of Prosenitsy, the villages of Kholkovo, Gorodishche, Rozhdestvina, and the village of Orlovka, where according to clerical records, there are 921 men and 1002 women. A church-parish school operates in the village of Prosenitsy.
