One of the most densely populated areas of Moscow is Bibirevo. The believers living here still feel an acute shortage of places where they could hold conciliar prayers. Therefore, each of the temples erected here is especially valuable. Among them is a small church built about 15 years ago in honor of the founders of Russian monasticism, the famous ascetics of the 11th century, St. Theodosius and Anthony of the Caves.
