Forefeast of Transfiguration
The church in Lipetsk stands quietly among the trees. Reminds me of our temples at home, also so simple and bright.

Spiro Kristo Where did you take this picture, in what year?
Роман Лебедев The church in Lipetsk is made of stone, it is clear that it is still pre-revolutionary, the domes are simple, without unnecessary stucco. The walls are thick, the windows are small, the construction is typical for those years.
Gheorghe Popescu This church in Lipetsk is from the 19th century, built from local limestone. I read that it even held up when they used it as a grain store in the 30's.
Анастасия Морозова This church, it seems, is in the village of Studenki near Lipetsk. In the 19th century, local limestone for the foundation was also taken directly from a quarry two miles away.
Петя Попова The church is dedicated to St. Dimitar of Thessaloniki, so many people from the surrounding villages always gather on his feast day.
Katarzyna Zielińska Where exactly is this church in Lipetsk? When did you take the photo?
Camille Laurent Yes, this is the Church of St. Demetrius in Studenki. The limestone there is really local, they also used it for wall cladding.
Γιώργος Λαμπρόπουλος This church from the 19th century has very thick walls and small windows, I see that the limestone was used for both the foundation and the cladding. Simple job, but it stands strong.
Viorica Lungu Yes, it is the church of Saint Demetrius in Studenki. People from neighboring villages always gathered at his shrine, as Petia also says.
