Paris St.Séraphin-de-Sarov. Hidden Russian Orthodox church!
Getting to this church -- St.Séraphin-de-Sarov, on-time might be a challenge: you need to find the street-side large green doors, then, once within, head down a short wondrous pavee-path and around past a building straight out of the town from Downtown Abbey. (‘Carson’ was unavailable…) Then, in past the green metal gate and behold, an unreal urban oasis of calm and serenity infused with the heady fragrances of all manner of flowers and plants… The day I arrived, someone was practicing a wonderful Violin! …(and did I mention the unreal quiet)?
It was supposedly built from wooden crates from the area, and consecrated by Metropolitan Eulogius (Guéorguievski ) …being financed by gifts from Russian émigrés whites from the area.
Paris saw an flux of Russians post revolution….
2 TRUNKS: The church is made entirely of wood, and goes one better …having a live maple tree growing through the roof of the church yet another, large’ish trunk (dead) also within the church.
It is modest sized, yet well appointed, among the icons in the church are works of Joan Reitlinger and Mother Mary Skobtsov .
IT WAS REBUILT IN THE 1970'S...I BELIEVE...

Places to see in ( Sanremo - Italy ) Russian Orthodox Church - San Basilio
Between 1874 and 1875, the Russian tsarina Maria Aleksandrovna, wife of the tsar Alexander II, spent the winter season in San Remo and thus inaugurated the tradition of Russians traveling to the riviera for the winter. As a symbol of her gratitude, she gave the town the palm trees that can still be seen along the promenade and in return, the City Council dedicated the promenade to her, henceforth called “Corso Imperatrice”, to express their appreciation to the tsarina.
The Russian writer A.K. Tolstoy (a distant relative to Leo Tolstoy) spent his last winter at the tsarina’s court in San Remo, and from his letters we known much about the way in which the Russians lived on the Italian Riviera. Following the tsarina’s example, the Russian aristocracy, including members of the Imperial family, began to spend their winter season in San Remo. The Grand Duke Aleksej Michajlovic was here receiving treatment for tuberculosis in 1895 when he died at only twenty years old. He was then buried in the Cathedral of Sts Peter and Paul in San Petersburg.
The idea to build a Russian church in San Remo was first ascribed to the Grand Duke Sergej Michajlovic, who stayed at Villa Flora in the 1890’s, and also to the tsarina Maria Aleksandrovna. At that time, many aristocratic Russian families, such as the Olsufevs, the Seremetevs, and the Demidovs, owned villas to spend the winter season on the Riviera. Many Russians suffering from tuberculosis chose San Remo to spend their winters and as a result a Russian bath, a bakery and a pharmacy were soon established in the Ligurian town.
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the idea of building a church began to spread within the Russian Colony, but the project was hampered by the lack of funds. Until 1908, when the Russian chapel in the cemetery was consecrated, the rites were sometimes held in private churches, as in Mrs Strekalova’s Villa Gloria, and in a building on Via Roma (at No. 22). In 1910, a Supervising Committee – later called the Building Committee – was led by V. K. Sabler, a senator and the former Procurator of the Saint Synod, who had spent six years in San Remo in 1882 to get healed. In his own words, he “had personally seen how necessary a church was in a town where thousands of sick people stayed”. In 1911 Sabler was appointed Procurator of the Saint Synod again and the project was thus pushed forward.
The church was consecrated to the Saviour, to Saint Catherine the martyr, and to Saint Serafim of Sarov, though at first it had been suggested that the church be consecrated to only the Saviour, as it is usually referred today. The representatives of the Anglican and Protestant clergy celebrated with the Russian community, while the Catholic priests were not able to join in the celebrations. After the consecration of the church, the Committee had a “Russian lunch” gala offered at the Savoy Hotel during which a telegram was written to the tsar Nicholas II, who was then in Levadija (Crimea). The new church was ascribed to the eparchy of Saint Petersburg among the “churches in foreign health resorts”. Its first rector was Nevskij p. Varsonofij.

Nizhny Novgorod Region
The Nizhny Novgorod Region is located in central Russia on the Volga River and its confluents. The region's capital, Nizhny Novgorod , is rightfully considered the third capital of Russia. The compatriots, Minin and Pozharsky, came from this place to liberate Moscow. Pilgrims travel to the Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery, in the Diveyevo settlement to honour Saint Seraphim of Sarov. In autumn, admirers of the genius Alexander Pushkin meet in the Boldino mansion. And in winter, the Bogorodsk ski resort welcomes skiers. This is the Nizhny Novgorod Region, a combination of the familiar and the new.
