Temple of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow”

In the live broadcast you can see the Joy of All Who Sorrow Church, which is located in the center of the Gorodishche village, Volgograd Region. The temple shown in the webcam is the only religious object of this kind, designed in the Byzantine style with elements of ancient Russian architecture.

At the end of the 19th century, the village of Gorodishche, where the online broadcast is coming from, has significantly grown and improved. The old wooden church, which stood on the site of the temple in the webcam, ceased to accommodate all the parishioners. In 1905, the construction of a new stone church began, headed by priest Konstantin Khitrov. After the assassination of the abbot, an obelisk stone was erected at the place of his death.

The Church of Our Lady “Joy of All Who Sorrow”, shown in the online camera, was consecrated on May 25, 1914.

Services in the church, which you see on the webcam, were constantly held until the 30s of the 20th century. Later, with the advent of Soviet power, the bells were removed from the bell tower, and the rector of the church, Tikhon Andreyevich Nikitin, was arrested. The church, broadcasted online, was closed, and a cultural institution was housed on its premises.

During the Great Patriotic War, in the building of the Church of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow”, which this online camera is directed to, the headquarters of the commander of the 6th Army of the Wehrmacht Field Marshal Paulus was located before the campaign to Stalingrad, and then the German military hospital.

After the Second World War, a club and a library were opened in the Church of Our Lady of Joy of All Who Sorrow in live camera.

In 1990, in the village of Gorodishche, where the online stream is coming from, the Orthodox Parish of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow” began to work again and the temple was returned to the believers. It was a time to restore the temple in the webcam. An iconostasis with a canopy over the altar was erected inside the church, a charitable refectory began to work, a Sunday school with a children’s choir “Bells” was formed, a baptismal building was built, a metal fence appeared on the territory adjacent to the temple, and domes were installed. Eight bells with the faces of saints were erected on the restored bell tower.

The Church of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow”, broadcasted in the web camera, is an Orthodox monument of antiquity and one of the most striking religious sights of the Volgograd region.
