Since 1877 - Eldigino in the possession of the manufacturers Armandov.

E.I. Armand is a major Russian capitalist who received the title of "Honorary Citizen of the Russian Empire" from the Tsar. This Russified Frenchman became the owner of a huge territory from the modern village of Pravdinsky to the city of Dmitrov.

The head of the trading house "E. Armand with his sons" was Evgeny Evgenievich Armand. Inessa Steffen married one of his children, Alexander Evgenievich, when she was 19 years old. The wedding took place in the St. Nicholas Church in the village of Pushkino in 1893. This microdistrict bears the name of Armand from now on.

Inessa's father was the once famous French opera singer Theodore Steffen - he performed under the pseudonym Pesche Erbanville. He and actress Natalie Wilde, half French, half English, had three daughters. Inessa-Elizaveta, the eldest, was born on May 8, 1874 (there is evidence that Natalie had not yet been married to Steffen by this time). A few years later, Steffen died, leaving the widow destitute. Natalie retired from the stage and supported her family by giving singing lessons. But there was not enough money, and the older daughters - Inessa and Rene - were sent to their aunt. To Moscow. My aunt was a governess in the richest family of Russified French Armands - she taught music and French. The Armand family, well-known Moscow industrialists-manufacturers, owned a large weaving factory in Pushkin, estates and tenement houses. The head of the family, Evgeny Evgenievich Armand, a hereditary honorary citizen, belonged to the highest industrial aristocracy of Russia. He had three sons - Alexander, Vladimir and Boris. The Steffen girls were warmly received by the Armand family. Rene and Inessa were fluent in three languages ​​- French, English and Russian, knew a little German, played music beautifully. They had an excellent education - it was not without reason that their aunt-teacher brought them up. Inessa at the age of 17 passed the exam for the title of home teacher. In addition, both sisters were extremely pretty and had a French charm and charm, rare among Russian girls.

The Armand brothers did not resist. Alexander became interested in Inessa, and the younger Boris - Rene. Of course, the Steffen sisters were a completely unsuitable party for young men from the Armand family: of unclear origin, foreigner, dowry, other religion ... But the boys' parents did not mind: the Armands were known for their liberal views and fell in love with Rene and Inessa like their own daughters. The wedding of Alexander Evgenievich Armand and Inessa-Elizaveta Stefan (as her name was written in Russian documents) took place in Pushkin on October 3, 1893. Inessa was 19 years old, her husband was two years older. A charming, full of life young Frenchwoman and soft, charming, noble Alexander made a wonderful couple.

The Trinity Church, which has survived to this day, was built in the traditions of the early Peter the Great Baroque in 1735 by Prince Alexander Borisovich Kurakin on the promise of his father Boris Ivanovich Kurakin. The princely family of Kurakins owned the Eldigino estate for more than one hundred and fifty years, starting in 1662. Many representatives of this aristocratic family, descending according to legend to the Lithuanian prince Gedemin and the Kiev prince Vladimir the Holy, were European-educated and went down in history, thanks to their bright diplomatic talents.
Worth mentioning is the fact that already in the XVI century. The Kurakins had their own family ancient storage, which was located first in their Kremlin mansions, which stood on the site of the Grand Kremlin Palace, then in a new house on Bolshaya Lubyanka, and later - at the family estate on Novaya Basmannaya Street.

Prince Boris Ivanovich was an outstanding diplomat and writer of his time. Since 1684, he owned the Eldigino estate, inherited from his grandfather, Prince Grigory Semenovich Kurakin, who was close to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, was the governor of the city of Sevsk, and in 1662-1663. repulsed the attack of the Crimean Tatars and took part in subsequent services on the southern outskirts of Russia. At that time, in Eldigino, there was a wooden church in the name of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, old and dilapidated, with St. the prophet Elijah and St. Macarius Zheltovodsky, and at the votchinikov court - the church of St. the martyr Anastasia the Solver, and at the churches - the priest Fedor and the deacon Grigory Andreev.

After the death of his grandfather, Prince Boris Ivanovich put the estate in proper order, and on the site of the dilapidated church he built a new, wooden one, with the preservation of the former name. In the same year, at the request of the prince, the synodal state order contained Kurakin's permission to build a new church. For this, Boris Ivanovich took thirty acres of land and hay fields from his estate. In 1727, while abroad, the prince dies in Paris and, in a spiritual will, transfers money in the amount of twenty thousand rubles.

So, having fulfilled his father's will, the heir to the patrimony, son Alexander, builds a magnificent stone church in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity with the borders of St. Prophet Elijah and St. Great Martyr Anastasia. In the same 1735 the church was consecrated.

In 1842, the owner of the estate, adviser Lyubimov, added a bell tower to the temple, and in 1877 the estate was sold to an honorary citizen, manufacturer Yevgeny Evgenievich Armand.
Having bought the estate, the new owner immediately began to put it in order. The roof of the temple was repainted, and in 1883 its walls were painted in the spirit of the academic direction of Russian religious painting, services were held constantly until 1937, then the temple was closed and used as a warehouse.

Since 1992, the doors of the temple have been reopened for parishioners. All destroyed, without a roof and floor, without doors and windows, without a porch and bells, haggard and dark - this is how he appeared before Father Alexander Gruzinov, a “hereditary parishioner” of this church. His grandmother went here, his father was baptized here, his grandfather went to the front from these places, among the dead his name is engraved on the local obelisk. Once shining and majestic, now completely devastated, the temple looked at the priest with black eye sockets of windows.

Let us pray to the Lord in peace!

The beginning of all beginnings - the prayer sounded again under the collapsed vaults.

The first Trinity was met under umbrellas and, since there was no roof, the rain generously watered all the parishioners. But they sang Easter near the hot stove of the “potbelly stove”. People - a full temple. Batiushka was very worried: there was no gender! People stand on the remains of the basement vaults, as if on islands, in the hands of a candle - unusually solemnly, by the light of candles, everything around has changed, as if there is no devastation and we are in the 18th century ...

In 1994, the first parish newspaper called "Parish News" was published, and a Sunday school was opened.

Gradually, through the efforts of the rector, parishioners, sponsors and builders, the temple rose from the ruins. The Sunday school grew, along with the adult kliros, a children's choir appeared.

Since 2002, a library and a video class began to operate, it became possible for children to arrange a summer day camp. On the basis of the Sunday School, a children's environmental group was formed, which declared war on garbage in the entire settlement. For their work from the administration of the village of Eldigino, the guys were awarded excursion trips. The idea of ​​the eco-team was also taken up by the Eldiginsky secondary school, which is in close cooperation with the Sunday School. So since 2006, integrated lessons in history and literature with an in-depth study of Orthodox culture have become possible.

The temple also has a department for helping the poor. On the feast of the Nativity of Christ - and this is already a tradition - the Sunday School and the kliros arrange a Christmas tree with gifts for children, and during the caroling, which is arranged by the youth of the kliros, one of the days is devoted to visiting the sick and the elderly, who are also given gifts.

Since 1995, at the request of the command of the military town of Sofrino-1 and the people living in it, the priest took care of this settlement as well. A church shop began to operate in the bakery shop, right in the shop the priest talked with the residents, answered questions, advised, consoled. All requests were made in the soldiers' club and at home. Since 1996, the question of building a church has been brewing, but the financial crisis has undermined the potential of potential sponsors, and there was only enough strength for the gatehouse, where the church shop was subsequently transferred. A Sunday school was organized here, first for adults, and later for children. And recently a well was dug where prayers are served. Analysis of the water showed that the water is the purest, as in a natural source.

With the blessing of Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsy and Kolomna, the construction of an ascribed church in the name of the right-believing Prince Dimiry Donskoy has now begun.
