Kugulta, Stavropol Krai Russia
Russian Orthodox
The church was built from 1909-13. It was demolished and used as a granary in the Soviet era, though services continued in the lodge with only two short interruptions. Residents saved some of the most valuable icons and returned them to the church in the 1990s. Legend reports that a large icon of St Nicholas was built in the floor and miraculously remained unharmed. A St. Nicholas icon was returned to the church in 2001. The beautiful church has long been shown in the introduction to the spiritual and educational television program "Stavropol Blagovest."
