For the first time, the place where the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Gryazek now stands was mentioned in the annals of history as early as the 16th century. Once there was built a wooden church in honor of St. Basil the Great. In the 17th century, they decided to overlay it with stone, but in the middle of the 18th century, the bell tower fell from a height and collapsed. This misfortune occurred due to the close proximity to the river Rachka, which flowed from the pond, which is now called Chisty.
Rachka crossed Pokrovskaya street. In the spring, or after prolonged rains, the river overflowed and turned the whole district into mud. Therefore, this area received such a name.
Church Warden
In 1812, when Moscow was on fire, the church was not damaged, but by the middle of the 19th century the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Gryazeh was unable to accommodate all the parishioners. Therefore, the headman of the church, philanthropist and merchant of the first guild Evgraf Vladimirovich Molchanov, decided to rebuild it at his own expense.
Evgraf Molchanov was a major businessman, ownerseveral textile and cotton-printing factories in Moscow and the Moscow region. All his life, Evgraf Vladimirovich helped the poor, orphans, and his workers.

And now, to realize his plan and build a temple, he turns to the famous architect and his friend M. D. Bykovsky.
Rebirth
The Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Gryazakh near the Pokrovsky Gates soon takes on a new look. On the western side of the church, the architect decides to build a three-tiered bell tower, which will be completed in 1870. The facade of the temple is performed in the classical style, In 1861, construction was completed. The Metropolitan of Moscow then was St. Philaret, who consecrated the church. The Temple of the Life-Giving Trinity on Gryazeh is an amazing building, as many interesting stories are associated with it. It is there that the miraculous icon with a touching story is kept.
Miraculous icon
The icon is called "The Holy Family", and the author is the famous Italian artist Raphael. Even before the reconstruction of the temple, one pious artist brought it from Italy and presented it to his relative, who turned out to be the rector of the temple on Gryazeh. Some time later, after the death of the artist, the rector placed the icon on the porch of the church.

After forty years, a miracle happened with the icon. One woman's husband was slandered and exiled to Siberia, the property was returned to the treasury. And the only son was in captivity. The poor woman cried day and night for the help of the Mother of God. One day, grieving and praying, she heard a voice instructing her to find the icon of the Holy Family and pray in front of it. Fortunately, the woman finds the icon and prays with all diligence. After some time, the women rehabilitate the husband, give the home to the owners, and the son returns from captivity.
The Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Gryazakh becomes a place of pilgrimage for believers, and people give the icon the name “Three Joys.”
The temple also has an icon of St. David of Gareji, the great Georgian ascetic. The life of the saint is written in the Cheti-Minei. They say that during the life of David of Gareji, priests-sorcerers, for a certain bribe, persuaded a certain girl to disgrace a Christian preacher in public. The girl accused the saint of her pregnancy, then the man of God, holding out his staff and touching the girl's stomach, asked if he was the father of the child. To which everyone heard the voice “No” from the womb. This formidable story is well known to Georgian women, so they ask the saint for help in childbirth, giving children, and so on.

It can often be seen that some of the church parishioners are baptized absolutely incorrectly: some wave their hands to the sides, others, instead of the Divine Trinity, gather their fingers into some kind of, sorry, “pinch”. Let's dot the "and"
