Church of the Icon of the Mother of God «The Unfading Bloom» in Rublyovo
The first mention of the village of Rublevo dates back to 1620, when it was in the possession of boyar Boris Mikhailovich Lykov. In the following centuries, the village changed owners several times, and at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, the landowner Sofya Nikolaevna Karzinkina became its last mistress. In 1901, near the village, on the right bank of the Moskva River, construction began on the Rublevskaya water lifting station, which was commissioned in 1904 and supplied the capital with drinking water. Rublyov has never had its own parish church, and the village was part of the parish of the Trinity Church in the village of Troitskoye-Lykovo. However, there was the Alexander Nevsky Chapel (built in 1890 in memory of the miraculous salvation of Emperor Alexander III) and the Panteleimon House Church at the summer colony of the Moscow Orphanage of the Brotherhood in the Name of the Queen of Heaven (operated since 1910), but both were lost by 1927. The history of the modern church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Unfading Color” began in 1998, when, with the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II, the foundation stone was consecrated. In 2008 Bishop Ambrose (Ermakov) of Bronnitsky consecrated the foundation, and the building was designed by architect Nikolai Borisovich Vasnetsov, the great-grandson of Arkady Mikhailovich Vasnetsov. In 2010, the lower church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Chalice” was completed and consecrated, and in 2012, construction of the upper church began, which was completed in December 2014. His consecration took place on January 6, 2015, on Christmas Eve.
