Фото 1
In the village of Vyatsky Posad in the Oryol region, a unique spiritual Orthodox center was established by the blessing of Schema-Archimandrite Ilya (Nozdrin). In 2012, Metropolitan of Oryol and Bolkhov Antony, together with Schema-Archimandrite Ilya (Nozdrin), held the first prayer service for the construction of the Church of the Meeting of the Lord, which became the heart of this center.

On October 27, 2015, Bishop Nectarios of Liven and Maloarkhangelsk consecrated the cornerstone of the church. Construction work actively began that same year. In the summer of 2016, the domes and bells of the church were consecrated by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia, who emphasized the significance of such centers for the Orthodox life of Oryol region and all of Russia.

The center has become an important place for Orthodox life in the Oryol region. On September 1, 2017, an Orthodox gymnasium named after St. Alexius, the Man of God, was opened here, designed for 150 students. In addition to general education subjects, the gymnasium teaches the Law of God, Church Slavonic languages, and church singing.

On the picturesque grounds of Vyatsky Posad, there is also a crafts school where folk crafts are revived. Here, gymnasium students and pupils from Oryol and the region engage in pottery, ceramics, woodworking, and sewing. In the crafts school, one can learn to draw, create crafts, and reconstruct historical costumes. Classes are available not only to schoolchildren but to all visitors of the center, and workshops are held on weekends. Free classes are organized for kindergartens, schools, and social institutions.

Around the Church of the Meeting of the Lord, there is a small church in honor of the 12 Apostles and a chapel with the distribution of holy water. A baptismal pool with warm changing rooms is available for visits from 8 AM to 5 PM. The center also features children's and sports playgrounds, open to everyone.

The children's playground is equipped with modern swings, merry-go-rounds, slides, and a sandbox with a safe surface. Nearby, there is a covered stage for concerts and events, with seating for 150 spectators.

The architecture of the center combines traditional Russian motifs and modern design. The territory is equipped with modern systems: two autonomous boiler houses, a fire pit, and seven wells.
