Arriving in Murmansk tourists on their way to the city can always notice the unusual Church of Our Lady, located in the village of Murmashi. The magnificent church cross glow on the smooth golden dome, clearly stands out against the blue of heaven, as though coming to bless the people of Murmansk.

The church was built in 2006, according to the blessing of the Archbishop of Murmansk and Monchegorsk Simon; consecration of the church took place in the same year. Construction of the church was carried on donations from Murmansk businessman Vladimir Blinskogo.

Murmashi a village aviators, builders and engineers. It is worth noting that the village is large enough and it has everything you need for a comfortable life: swimming pool, sports center, kindergartens, schools, many shops, game clubs, health spa and tennis and hockey - it turns out that everything is provided only for entertainment, but for the soul - there is nothing.

In 1996, Murmashi opened church of St. Catherine .  Rejoicing in this event, many have realized that there was a place where you can communicate with God, he went into one of his temples .  It is worth noting that the original church building has not been provided for this purpose, for which reason the beginning of church services not advertised because the bell tower when it was not; In addition, the new church was opened on a daily basis is not .  During church services are held on public holidays, the church could not accommodate everyone .  Thus, there was the question of the construction of the new church .  During 1999-2000, the area between the high-rise buildings and shop on a small hill was consecrated place, after which it was installed cross .  It is clear that in this place was planned construction of a new church .  In the process of a thorough study of this territory were discovered large power cables, for which reason the construction of the church in this territory became impossible .  Monchegorsk and Murmansk Archbishop Simon have a place, located not far from the original, but is in a valley, but it was swampy and marshy .

In a large village there was one man who decided to build this place for the residents of the church with a bell tower, from which would be heard ringing all over the village and the residents convened to top service. This man was Vladimir G. Blinsky. According to the blessing of Simon, in the autumn 2005, the laying the foundation of the temple. Up to this point in the swamp have been carried out work on the construction of the mound of sand and rubble. Then began the long-awaited construction. Church blockhouse was brought from Karelia, which already collected on a specified location. Responsible for the process became Nikolay Nesterenko. The church iconostasis was ordered penal colony for prisoners and carried the painting of icons icon-painters from the city of Murmansk - Mikhail Gusarov and Konstantin Moroz.

All the works were provided in a short time, so after 1, 5 years has sported elegant timbered church, decorated with white frames, golden domes and blue roof. The interior is also distinguished by its beauty and splendor. During the installation of the cross on the dome of the temple strong wind arose, and the workers would like to postpone the operation. Surprisingly there was a miracle - as was sung by one of the church songs, the wind here is a verse in the sky and could see a rainbow, which greatly inspired the people and set up the importance of the case. Consecration of the church took place in the winter 9 December 2006.

Rector of the new church was appointed Alexander Boldovskogo monk, who was entrusted with high hopes, after his father Alexander was the only one of the whole Diocese of Murmansk, which had pride of higher spiritual education. Today, when the Church of the Vladimir Icon of Our Lady in 2007, became a Sunday school.
