Church of Elijah the Prophet in Novoselka Mountain

The formation of the Novoselsky parish and the establishment of a church in Novoselka took place at the beginning of the XVIII century. At that time, this village belonged to the Nikolaevsky Ugreshsky monastery.

In 1712, its inhabitants built a church, which was then consecrated in the name of the holy prophet Elijah. In 1769, with the permission of Bishop Sylvester of Pereslavl, a new wooden church with a bell tower was built instead of this church. In 1828, instead of a wooden church, a stone church with a bell tower was built in Novoselka. There are two thrones in it: in the cold church in the name of the holy Prophet Elijah, in the warm chapel in honor of the Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the temple.

The main attraction of the Yaroslavl region is a constellation of 12 ancient cities: Yaroslavl, Gavrilov-Yam, Danilov, Lyubim, Myshkin, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Poshekhonye, Rostov the Great, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Uglich and the flooded Mologa. Each of them has its own unique appearance and atmosphere.
