        • Patriarch Alexy II laid the foundation of the large church on 2 September 1999, and Patriarch Kirill performed the great consecration on 27 February 2011.
        • It is called the first church built in Moscow in the 21st century; the money was raised by the district administration, builders and residents.
        • The church's image is on the coat of arms and flag of the Maryino district.
