The Church to the Nativity of Christ in the Arzamas metochion of the Seraphim-Diveyevo monastery celebrates its patronal feast today.

The Church of the Nativity of Christ was built at the expense of merchant Zayashnikov. When he died, his son-in-law Nikolai Stobeus known for charity work completed the construction of the church. In honor of his heavenly patron, St. Nicholas side altar was consecrated at the Church of the Nativity of Christ.

On the eve of the feast and on the feast day itself, Archpriest Vladimir Sidorin, the clergyman of the monastery, celebrated the All-Night Vigil, the paraklesis with the water-blessing prayer service and the late-morning Divine Liturgy.
