History
[edit]In 1793, in the village of Sinyavskoye, the construction of the first wooden church began. It was completed and consecrated in 1794. The clerical archive data from 1801 describes this church as follows: "It was based on wooden pillars, its walls are reed, coated with clay and covered with bast. At the church there were 108 parish households, in them there were 323 men and 307 Malorossian women and also 26 households with 117 men and 98 Velikorossian women."[1]
In 1802, due to the dilapidation of the church, local authorities decided to build a new stone church with the same name. In 1806, a solemn consecration of the new church took place. In 1863 a parish school was opened there.
In 1917, the church was looted and closed. In subsequent years, it also significantly dilapidated.[2][3]
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and re-consecrated in the name of All Saints. On June 18, 2006, the bicentenary of the church was celebrated.[1]
