Temple of the Forty Sebastian Martyrs
Temple of the Forty Martyrs of Sevastia, Konakovo. Russia.
Date of foundation of the temple: 2004
The site allocated for the construction of the temple is located in the western part of the city of Konakovo, on the banks of the Volga.
Nowadays, daily services and ceremonies are held in the temporary church.
The priest had to master the profession of a builder in order to justify the hopes of the parishioners.
The projected temple is a two-aisled one, with a basement and choirs, an attached belfry, with a hipped-roof end of the main aisle and a four-pitched roof of the north side-altar. The main side-altar of the temple has a cubic main volume with four pillars carrying a light octagon with a dome.
The construction of the temple continues.
Father Oleg himself obtains and brings material for the future church, he negotiates with contractors, looks for workers. He can often be seen at a construction site. Father Oleg took upon himself a seemingly overwhelming burden - the construction of the first large church in the history of Konakovo. In the city, founded in Soviet times, the church was not foreseen. They built a state district power station, erected houses, laid out parks, but hands reached the temple only 14 years ago - in 2004. So the temple will be truly unique for the city.
