The Church in the name of St. Nicholas and St. Martyr Ariadne (now the Cathedral of St. John of Kronstadt) in Udelnoye lane 1 on Malofontanskaya road (French Boulevard) was built and consecrated in 1902 by the famous Odessa architect Yu. M.Dmitrenko at the expense of the Greek philanthropist merchant of the 1st Guild M. N. Mavrokordato at the Almshouse of the Greek charitable society. The building of the Almshouse was built at the expense of the family of the mayor G. G. Marazli. When the father of the Mavrocordato family began to lose his sight and became almost blind, he asked the famous all-Russian miracle worker FR.John of Kronstadt to pray for healing. By the prayer of the righteous man, he saw the light and then served the Church of Christ as a benefactor. On him, and the merchant 2nd Guild Sergei P. Triarchy funds in 1896 it was rebuilt and reconstructed the building of the Almshouses. In addition, M. N. Mavrocordato received from FR. John of Kronstadt blessing on the construction of the Almshouse in Odessa Church. The grateful Mavrocordato built a temple in the name of SVT. Nicholas and MCH. Ariadne in memory of their parents Nicholas and Ariadne. In the crypt of the new temple was arranged and the tomb for their burial. The territory adjacent to the Almshouse and the temple was landscaped in the best way. In 1932 the Church was desecrated, half destroyed and turned into a warehouse. A tractor drove up to the temple and threw to the ground the amazing mosaic domes, arranged in such a way that inside they were a lot of colorful stained glass. When sunlight passed through them, the entire dome, and with it the entire temple, was illuminated by a multicolored glow. Since 1992, the Church is being restored - it is the Cathedral of St. John of Kronstadt
