The stone five-altar Meeting Church in Irbit is one of the oldest in the Urals. Its construction began in 1832 with the erection of the bell tower, which housed an altar in honor of the martyrs Flora and Laurus, consecrated on April 24, 1846. From that time, services began here. The main part of the church was laid three months later, and the main altar in honor of the Meeting of the Lord was consecrated on July 11, 1846.

The church had altars dedicated to the martyrs Flora and Laurus, Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra, Great Martyr Catherine, and the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos.

The majestic building of the church served not only as a place of spiritual rest for the residents and guests of the Irbit Fair but also as an adornment of the ancient merchant city and a center of spiritual life. In 1930, the church became the cathedral of the Irbit Renovationist archbishops and remained so until its closure in 1932.

After its closure, the church was used for the needs of a trailer factory, with a factory boiler room placed in its premises. The restoration of the church began with the altar in honor of the martyrs Flora and Laurus. On December 19, 2008, on the feast day of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, the first service in the Meeting Church of Irbit took place after a 76-year break. Many people gathered for the service, which was led by Archbishop Vikentiy of Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye.
