Each church has its own special spirit. At this temple he is one with the spirit of the regiment of the same name. This unity found expression in the design of the whole area.

It was dedicated to the Holy First-Fledged Apostles Peter and Paul, and the main chapel to the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. In 1760, began to build a stone church, which stood for demolition in 1964. The new church was consecrated in 1768. Until the destruction, the Church of the Transfiguration was not closed and was, until the revolution, one of the many inconspicuous temples on the outskirts of the capital.
In the early twentieth century, the Church of the TransfigurationThe Lord on the Transfiguration Square became a cathedral. After the revolution, many shrines and icons were brought here from neighboring closed churches. One of the most important spiritual centers of Moscow appeared here. During the war, the temples once again became a refuge for mourners and destitute people who have always been comforted here. In 1964, when there were rumors of demolition, parishioners in the number of about 100 people locked themselves in the temple. About a thousand believers stood around him. Within a week the workers could not get close to the church. When the defenders of the temple, having calmed down, dispersed, there was a terrible explosion at night, and they realized that they had been deceived. But, apparently, the prayer of the people united for the defense of the church was so hot that a miracle happened. The metro station, which was to be built on the site of the temple, was built in another place. Instead, they broke the garden. Since then, churches in Moscow have not been destroyed. And the parishioners had hope for the restoration of the temple.

The church has a library and a Sunday school.
