Church of the Resurrection is located in the village of Zhuravlevo Boksitogorsky area. Zhuravlyovo have existed for centuries Suglitsky churchyard. The origin of its name is due to the flowing river loam.

Zhuravlevo previously belonged to the Novgorod land, which was divided into fifths, and those - in the churchyard. Suglitsky churchyard was part Bezhetskaya fifths. The first mention of graveyard found in 1498-1499 godah.Sleduyuschee message on time refers to the years 1581-1583, when Bezhetskaya Pyatina was rewritten Prince Zvenigorod and clerks Sergeyev. Some of the land assigned to the parish Kazan tatarami.Mnogie of them appeared in Russia after the invasion of Batu, and their descendants in time imbued with the spirit and the Russian capture of Kazan took pravoslavie.Posle Orthodoxy began to spread among the Tatars, resulting in an entire people - Kryashens. Of Tatars in "feeding" distributed the land. So, most likely, the Tatars appeared in Suglitskoy parish.

The name "graveyard" presupposes the existence of a temple on it. Although the book scribe 1498-1499 years the temple is not mentioned in the churchyard, probably, he was there. Later, the church was rebuilt and expanded the Chapel of St. John the Divine.

In 1820 the villagers Somino adjacent to Zhuravlev, sent a petition to the Emperor Alexander I on construction in their village church in honor of the Apostles Peter and Paul. This case took up Count Arakcheev, who was here with the Emperor in 1823. After that came the official requested from St. Petersburg. The land belonged to the landlords are two: P. Kulebyakin and ID Mamayev.

Mother thinks that the construction of the church in Somino Suglitsky lead to decline. In this regard, he was active in the on-site Suglitskoy Church in 1830 built a five-domed Cathedral of the Resurrection, with eight altars. One of the altars was dedicated to Nicholas-saint, the other - Elijah the prophet. The rest of the thrones were consecrated in honor of St. John the Evangelist, The Signs of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Archangel Michael, All Saints, the Assumption. The main altar was dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ. Such an amount of Thrones is unique to the rural church. Even at the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, only three of the throne.

After the death Mamaev, he was buried near the Church of the Resurrection built them.

Among the rector, who served here in the 19-20 centuries, it is worth mentioning PF Sokolova, N. Antonskogo, A.Onufrievskogo, I. Sozin, N. Ivoninskaya.

After the Revolution, the church was the sad fate. In 1937, it stopped the service. And in 1941 the church was closed. Icons were partially looted, and the rest of the faithful managed to save.

In 2003, Resurrection Church, visited Father Gennady Belovolov - rector of Peter and Paul church in Somino. In the first service in the temple of believers gathered Zhuravlev and other surrounding villages. By the next arrival of the father Gennady efforts of local people in the church had already been cleared away debris, handed rotten beams.

The revival of the church is possible because locals still keep the icon of the Resurrection church saved from the barbaric destruction of the Soviet era. Preserved even one of the bells. Believers are happy to return these relics, but only if the Temple will again be operational.

October 14, 2004, Father Alexander, Dean of the Tikhvin monastery in the Church of the Resurrection celebrated a prayer service blessing of water, and consecrated the right of the main entrance of the temple, which was renovated at the expense and by the parishioners.
