The Church of Theotokos, Joy in Sorrow, stands in Moscow's Meshchansky District as a regional cultural heritage site completed in 1899. Built in the ornate Uzorochye style—a hallmark of Russian Revival architecture—the church exemplifies the decorative exuberance and national romanticism that characterized late-nineteenth-century Russian sacred architecture. Its designation as a protected landmark reflects its significance as both a spiritual monument and an architectural expression of the period's revival of traditional Russian ecclesiastical forms.
