Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The main philanthropist was Nikifor Artemyevich Sezemov, a former serf of Count Sheremetyev, "the village of Vykhina villager".
The walls of the temple were built of white stone, delivered from the village of Myachkovo, famous throughout the district for its quarries. And the author of the project, as expected, most likely was the Moscow architect Vasily Savvich Obukhov.
The single-domed quadrangle of the church in the provincial baroque style, built in 1850-1852. the refectory was arranged by the Trinity and Nikolsky aisles.
The main iconostasis is five-tiered. Wall writing and ornaments in places, when updated and even completely replaced, are preserved in the unity of style. Much has been preserved from the old temple and utensils. Especially revered icons: Kazan, " unexpected joy”, Vladimirskaya.
During the Soviet years, the temple was not closed.
The church has preserved an old cemetery, where burials were stopped not so long ago. Local historians may be interested in tombstones made of limestone and sandstone monoliths, in the form of ancient sarcophagi, decorated on the sides with inscriptions from the Bibles in the Old Slavonic language, the names of the deceased and a corolla of a flower in a circle. Monuments with crosses on graves have been famous since the introduction of "Nikonianism" (1666).
Zhilina Church as an architectural monument of the 18th century, which is under the protection of the state, is not only an artistic, but also a historical value.
It was here, in the village of Zhilino, in a two-story stone house almost opposite the church in September 1812, that the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the Russian army M.I.
From Zhilino September 4, 1812 M.I. Kutuzov also sent a report to Emperor Alexander I on the reasons for leaving Moscow, and also revealed the plan for the upcoming march of the Russian army.
In the Zhilinsky headquarters of the Russian army, the first meeting of the Field Marshal General with his future orderly took place - the first female officer in Russia, the famous "cavalry girl" Nadezhda Andreevna Durova (cornet Alexandrov), who served as the prototype for the heroine of the film by E.A. Ryazanov "The Hussar Ballad" .
The top of the house, where M.I. Kutuzov spent several days, was rebuilt several times, but its foundation, having survived centuries, still serves as a reminder of the involvement of the ancestors of the indigenous Tomilians in the heroic events in the history of the Fatherland.
The date of construction of the first Assumption Church in Zhilino is unknown to historians. The first mention of a wooden temple dates back to the 17th century.
In the 20s of the 18th century, a new wooden church was erected in the village, but in the 50s of the same century it died in a fire. Two years later, a stone church was built at the expense of parishioners, which has survived to this day. Most of the funds needed for the construction were donated by N. A. Sezemov, the former serf of the Sheremetevs.
There is a legend that the famous commander M. I. Kutuzov prayed in this church. Documentary evidence of this does not exist, but the following fact is known: it was from Zhilino that the commander sent a report to the emperor about the abandonment of Moscow by Russian troops. In this report, he explained the reasons for such a step, cited evidence of its necessity. In the house located near the temple, for some time there was the headquarters of M. I. Kutuzov. By the way, it was in this headquarters that he first met a female officer N. A. Durova (who became the prototype of the main character of the famous film “The Hussar Ballad”).
During Soviet power the temple remained active. Most of the church utensils have survived to this day. Even the glazing of ancient icons remained intact. The wall paintings have been updated, but their original style has been preserved.

The patrimony of the Chudov Monastery The village in which it is located belonged in the 14th century to St. Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow. Metropolitan Alexy did a lot to establish peaceful relations with the Tatar Horde. Once, at the request of a Tatar khan, with his prayers, he healed the wife of a rich khan from blindness. In memory of this miraculous healing, the Miracle Monastery was erected. According to the will of the metropolitan, several of his possessions were transferred to the Chudov Monastery, including the village of Zhilinskoye (later it was called Zhilkino and Zhilino).

The First Two Churches It is possible that even under St. Alexis a small church existed in the village. But the first mention of it is contained in the scribe books of the 17th century. The record of 1624 says that in Zhilkino there was a wooden church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is not known what circumstances caused the construction of a new church in 1659. Maybe the old one was very dilapidated or burned down, as is often the case with wooden churches. new church was built and stood for 70 years. In 1728, through the efforts of Priest Semyon Nazarov, the question was raised about the construction of the third, known from the documents, the wooden Church of the Assumption in the village of Zhilino.

Construction of a white-stone church The great fire in 1752 made us think about building a church from a more durable material. The main benefactor was Nikifor Artemyevich Sezemov, in the 1770s he donated 14,788 rubles for the construction. The construction of the new temple was approached thoroughly. A project of the temple was prepared in advance, an estimate was drawn up, building materials were bought. In 1754, with the permission of St. Platon, the Archbishop of Moscow, a white-stone church was built with a single chapel in the name of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. The new church was built in the Baroque style.

Near the Kolomenskaya road Probably, the parish church was visited not only by peasants, but also by their masters. Quite a few passers-by also entered the Assumption Church, as it stood in convenient proximity to the busy Kolomna road. It is possible that royal persons also visited the white-stone Zhilinsky church. There was a road palace in the village in case, while walking along the Kolomna road, the sovereign wished to make a short stop. By 1722, the royal road palace was badly dilapidated. The Holy Synod instructed to restore the dilapidated palace. And it is likely that one of our sovereigns subsequently stayed in it.

"Crowned" pommel One can only speculate where the pommel in the form of an imperial crown came from on the cross that crowns the head of the Zhilinsky temple. Such a "crowned" temple is not the only one in Russia. Usually churches located in the estates of the nobles of the royal family were marked in this way. But folk tradition explains it touchingly simply: as if crowns appear on those churches that the Queen of Heaven Herself honored with her invisible visit. In our rational age, such an explanation will not suit many, although the facts show that the Church of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos is indeed guarded by Her.

The beginning of the war On Sunday, June 15, 1941, Archpriest Fr. John Sobolev served the last liturgy in an almost empty church. And on Sunday, June 22, she barely contained a crowd of people shocked by the word “war”. Under the vaults of the temple sounded the appeal of the Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Sergius to the "Shepherds and flock of Christ Orthodox Church". With excitement, people listened to the parting words of the Church, and the next day many of the parishioners of the Assumption Church went to the front. Those who remained in the rear carried a hard labor feat, doing everything so that the Fatherland would win.

Finding a shrine During the time of persecution, the Bolsheviks confiscated everything of any value from the temple: silver censers, crosses, tabernacles, lamps, many icons, etc. Believers tried to save all the most valuable: vintage icons and books. So in the 30s, under the cover of night, an image of the Kazanskaya Mother of God. This icon was presented to the church in Kotelniki in the 17th century by the mother of Peter the Great, Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina. For many years it became a shrine of the Assumption Church in Zhilina, which was miraculously preserved during the years of hard times.
