Tens of thousands of viewers watched the broadcast of the service in Kogalym in the Church of St. Tatiana, where the relics of the martyr are kept, in honor of the feast of her memory on January 25, 2021, which can be considered a record for religious events in churches outside the capital cities. this was reported to Lente.ru by the press service of the Lukoil charitable foundation.
The temple in Kogalym in 2018 was personally consecrated by Patriarch Kirill. He also gave the abbot a unique relic – the relics of St. Tatiana of Rome. After that, the flow of pilgrims to the temple continuously increased, including from the side of students, whose patroness is St. Tatiana. This year, due to the pandemic, the temple could not accommodate everyone, so a broadcast was organized for convenience.
“Saint Tatiana is considered the patroness of all students and Tatyans, no matter where they live in the world. Now you can ask for protection from her relics, pray for the health of family and friends. It is a real miracle that such a shrine appeared in Western Siberia ! “, – said the parishioner of the temple Tatyana Degtyareva.
The Church of St. Tatiana in Kogalym is one of the most prominent architectural structures in Western Siberia. Materials for it were supplied from all over the world: marble – from Jerusalem, India, Italy and Egypt, granite – from Bashkiria, copper – from Germany, bells were cast in Voronezh, and openwork crosses and domes were made in Moscow. The unique engineering project made it possible to immediately carry out the painting of the vaults and walls of the temple. The temple was built at the expense of the Lukoil charitable foundation.
