Snow-white, delicate, light, it stands out against the backdrop of the urban landscape. And in the early nineties she mutilated it with a gray shapeless half-ruined stain. The miracle of transformation occurred when the church was given over to the Georgian community of St. Petersburg: in three years, tremendous work has been done to the glory of God, and the Orthodox Church has been consecrated again, built with the blessing of St. John of Kronstadt at the end of the nineteenth century according to the design of the famous temple architect Nikolai Nikonov.

The Georgian people faithfully preserve Orthodox traditions for almost two millennia: John Zlatoust and two apostles of Jesus Christ are buried on their land. And this church is not the first one to be equipped by Georgians in Russia. It was built in the Russian style, but the interior decoration bears the imprint of Georgian culture. This is a single-tier iconostasis and, above all, an image of a vine in its decoration and framing icons.

The shrine of the church is the miraculously discovered in the early eighteenth century icon of the Mother of God, which, according to legend, appeared in the Skripitsyn's house in Moscow. The icon was a maid who “saw in a dream and declared to the housewives three times that they had the Most Holy Theotokos in their house, in the chimney of the furnace,” but the girl's stories were not paid attention to until the the pole did not fall the icon wrapped in canvas. Hence its name “Shestokskaya”. Since then, the icon has done many miracles through the prayers of Christians, and now the parishioners of this church turn to it.

Services are conducted in Georgian and Russian. And the very miraculous icon of the Mother of God, whose name the temple is named, responds favorably to the prayers of both Georgians and Russians. And all other people, without dividing them on the basis of nationality.
