The church is located in the center of the village, on a hill, stretching along the planning axis from west to east. Previously, on the northern side, the church property bordered a ravine through which the Vileika stream flowed, a tributary of Seryozha. Now, there is a pond created by the residents in the early 20th century, but the buildings along the former streambed have retained the name "Cells." This suggests that there once existed a "desert" here, where hermits lived in the 17th-18th centuries. During the deepening and improvement of the pond, as eyewitnesses claim, ancient log structures were found, but they were not studied in detail. Currently, there is no fence around the property, but according to the memories of the old-timers and the preserved plans, the church with adjacent buildings and cemetery was surrounded by a brick fence. There are no traces of early burials on the church property, and later burials were conducted outside the village.

It is believed that the church was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. Archimandrite Macarius mentions that the construction of the church was completed in 1809, which likely corresponds to the time of the consecration of the new altar in honor of the Nativity of Christ in the refectory and coincides with the renaming of the village to Christmas Maidan, previously known as Makrashsky Maidan.

The church is named in honor of the Nativity of Christ, and previously, it may have been called the church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. The architectural style is classicism. The composition includes square spaces of the bell tower, refectory, and the church itself with a rectangular apse, connected by wide arched passages. On the church, there is a small dome on the cupola, which crowns the altar of Nicholas the "Benefactor."
