Apparition Cathedral (Ishim)
The appearance-Cathedral (or Epiphaniaskathedrale ; russ Собор в честь Богоявления Господня в Ишиме, abbreviated Ишимский Богоявленский собор.. ) Is an in Ishim location Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the eparchy Ishim.
location
The cathedral was built on a bend in the Ishim river on the Kiseljowski Cape . This ledge, made of sandstone and clay, was gradually washed away from the west by the Ishim, so that the cathedral was in danger. To eliminate this danger, a new river bed for the Ishim was built through Lake Sitkino in the middle of the 19th century ; the old river bed was separated by a dike , creating an ischimchik oxbow lake .
history
The first church, the Nikolaus-Holzkirche, was built when the town was founded at the end of the 17th century and was destroyed by fire in 1726. A second, restored Nikolaus Church, also made of wood, was already obsolete a century later. In March 1773 began a collection of donations for the construction of a new church building and on July 7th jul. / July 18, 1775 greg. the foundation stone was laid. It was the first stone church in the extensive southern part of today 's Tyumen Oblast . The concrete plan and the facade of the building were proposed in the Tobolsk Eparchy , which is why the Apparition Cathedral resembles the churches of Tobolsk. The construction workers also came from Tobolsk.
Construction took almost 40 years, partly because material was delivered slowly. In 1782 the refectory was built. This should serve provisionally for church services and on May 10th jul. / May 21st 1782 greg. it was dedicated to Nicholas of Myra . Since then, church services have been held here in the warm season, and an old heated wooden church was used in winter. After the first floor was completed in 1790, the church was consecrated to the Epiphany and decorated with the iconostasis of the wooden Nicholas church. After a break at least until 1794, the second floor was completed in 1809. It was not until 1821 (the exact year is unknown), when a new iconostasis was ready, that the Church of the Assumption was built here . With the bell tower completed in 1814, the construction of the Apparition Cathedral was completed.
Apparition Cathedral was considered to be the center of the spiritual life of Western Siberia. Among other things, Pyotr Pavlovich Jerschow was baptized here in 1815 . In winter, the famous Nikolskaya fair was organized on Sobornaya Square (where the cathedral is located). The cathedral was restored in the early 1890s. In 1914 the number of parishioners had grown to around 5,500.
Under Soviet rule, the cathedral was closed for services on July 17, 1930. The building was initially used as a grain store, and since the early 1960s it has been part of the Ischim water supply system. In 1962 it was repaired. In 1989 the restoration of the building for worship began, in April 1992 the church building was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church .
In December 2012, the cathedral received the status of a cultural monument with federal importance (i.e. with special state importance).
