The wooden church of St. Tikhon Zadonsky in Sokolniki on the Shiryaev field was built in 1863. This temple is the first in Moscow dedicated to the Bishop of Voronezh, miracle worker Tikhon Zadonsky (1724-1783).
The current park "Sokolniki" was once a reserved forest, the place of the royal falconry. According to the legend, the Shiryaevo field is named after the beloved falcon Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who crashed here. The tradition of Sunday folk festivals in Sokolniki goes back to Peter I.
In 1934, the church of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk in Sokolniki was closed. Its building housed production and construction workshops, various construction organizations that adapted the temple of God to fit their needs. As a result, the tent disappeared, new windows and doors were sawn through the log walls. The entrance was cut through in the central apse, the main corridor passed where the throne was.
In 1992 the church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, transferred to the parish of the Church of All Saints with status ascribed. The temple is so dilapidated that the log house had to be dismantled and rebuilt. The construction of the temple designed by the architect Vasilenko N.S. was completed in 2004. On April 13, 2004, the temple was consecrated, and from that time services are held in it.
In 2013, the Church of St. Tikhon Zadonsky received the status of the skete of the Alekseevsky Stavropegic Convent of the city of Moscow.
