Фото 1
The Intercession Church in the village of Bolshie Soly, which has been called Nekrasovskoye since 1939, is built of stone, but the exact date and authors of its construction are unknown. The bell tower of the church is also made of stone and was erected in 1885-1886 with funds from St. Petersburg merchants I. M. Dernov, P. D. Shumilov, and E. I. Ivanov, who spent 18,000 rubles on it. The old bell tower, whose builders are unknown, is to be dismantled due to its dilapidated condition.

The church has two altars: in the cold part, in the name of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the warm part, in honor of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist. Here is kept the revealed and miraculous image of St. John the Forerunner from 1677, created during the reign of Tsar Feodor Alexeyevich and Patriarch Joakim. The church has a permanent capital of 4,594 rubles and 34 kopecks, with interest of 191 rubles and 62 kopecks. A record of teetotalers is maintained, but a formal sobriety society has not been established.

The clergy consists of a priest and a psalmist, whose incomes are stable, including interest from the capital of 12,191 rubles and 66 kopecks, donated by benefactors, which amounts to 467 rubles and 95 kopecks. The priest receives 300 rubles from communal income, while the psalmist receives 100 rubles. The clergy have their own premises and do not receive housing allowances. They have church land: 189 square fathoms of homestead and 1,152 square fathoms of garden. There is a plan and boundary book for the land.

The parish consists of 143 men and 145 women. The main occupations of the parishioners are gardening and trade, with some engaged in seasonal work. Most parishioners live in the settlement itself, while a small part, 10 people, live in two villages located one verst from the church.
