      • A wooden church was built in 1625 where the clergy met the embassy of Shah Abbas I bringing the Robe of the Lord.
      • The stone church was built by 1690 (by other accounts, in 1701) in the Moscow Baroque style.
      • An obelisk commemorating the meeting was erected on the same spot, and it has survived.
      • The Feast of the Deposition of the Robe of the Lord is celebrated in Moscow only by the Russian Church.
