Church of the Archangel Michael in Troparevo

12_2 This church was built in 1693. It was closed in 1937 and reopened at the beginning of 1989, making it one of the first Moscow churches to be returned to believers in Gorbachev's time. The church is home to the Donskaia icon of the Virgin and fragments of the remains of St. Nicolas. Boris Yeltsin and his wife Naina regularly attended the Easter Day services here. Services are held daily at 8a and 5p. Liturgies on Sundays are at 7a and 10a.
