In the 18th and early 20th centuries, the Yaroslavl Friday parish included two churches: the summer Trinity church and the winter church of Paraskeva Friday. The summer church has not survived. The area where these churches were located in Yaroslavl was called Tabory. According to tradition, in 1612, the troops of Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin were stationed here, preparing to liberate Moscow. The wooden church of the Friday parish is first mentioned in the Census Book of 1646. Twenty years later, information about the church and its altars is reported, as well as the tradition of providing shelter for the poor near the church. Since the mid-18th century, a shelter for various layers of the population operated at the church. The winter church of Paraskeva Friday was built in 1747 with funds from parishioners, while the iconostasis and utensils were funded by merchant Yegor Goroshkov. Between 1866 and 1868, changes were made to the churches according to the project of architect A.M. Dostoevsky, including the construction of a bell tower and an altar in honor of Alexander Nevsky, which was re-consecrated in 1904 in honor of Seraphim of Sarov. The second altar of the winter church was dedicated to Pelageya. In 1781, the parish had 110 households and 546 people, and by the early 20th century, the number of parishioners exceeded one thousand. In 1903, a church parish charity was established at the church. In the 1770s, a bell foundry was founded in the parish, which later became known as the Olovyanishnikov factory. The uprising in Yaroslavl in the summer of 1918 caused serious damage to the Friday church. In 1931, the parish was liquidated, and the last service took place on July 1 of the same year. The cold church and bell tower were dismantled in 1937, and the building was used as a warehouse, dormitory, and sports base. In 1995, the warm church of Paraskeva Friday was returned to the Yaroslavl diocese, and the first service took place on October 14 of the same year. The restoration of the church was supported by Valentin Tyukov, and in 1996, the dome and fence were restored. During the restoration, wall paintings were uncovered, which were updated by Yaroslavl masters. The central iconostasis was created by Valery Sorokin and Sergey Tomilin. Over ten years, the church was revived through the efforts of parishioners and priest Alexander Zaytsev. In 1997, an ancient icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker was placed in the church. An important event was the construction of a new bell tower designed by architect Lydia Rusakova, financed by Vladimir Ladonin. The bells were ordered from the Moscow Institute of Vacuum Technologies. On September 12, 2007, Archbishop Kirill of Yaroslavl and Rostov consecrated the renovated church.
