The village of Koverino, located in the Voskresensky district by the Kirumyash River, is 43 versts from Vladimir.
In 1730, Prince Alexander Vyazemsky addressed the state synodal office with a request: "In the village of Koverino, there used to be a wooden church in honor of the renewal of the Resurrection of Christ, but it burned down, and now I do not dare to build a new one without permission. The village and the village of Krutoki are far from the church, more than 10 versts. In summer, due to the forests and swamps, which become impassable in spring and autumn, it is difficult to reach the church. This creates great difficulties for the sick and newborns, and the deceased remain unburied for a long time. In Koverino, there is a landowner's estate and 15 peasant households, in Krutoki, 5 households. I request permission to build a new wooden church in Koverino and propose to provide 15 rubles a year for the maintenance of a priest and a deacon, as well as food and firewood. If I am not granted permission, I am ready to give up 10 quarters of my land for fields and hay meadows." In 1732, the church was built, and on October 14, 1733, it was consecrated in honor of the renewal of the Resurrection of Christ by Protopope Yakov Golovashkin of the Vladimir Assumption Cathedral.
In 1791, a stone church with a bell tower was erected on the site of the wooden church, thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, which still exists today.
The church has three altars: in the cold part, in honor of the Exaltation of the Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, in the warm part, in honor of the God-Loving Mother of God and Saint George the Great Martyr.
The parish includes the village of Koverino and the villages of Kiryushina and Ostrov, where the clerical records list 509 men and 521 women; all of them are Orthodox.
