Joseph Bobenchik painted a landscape with a view of the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Sukharevo village, Valuy district of the Belgorod region. The stone church was built on the Church’s site that burned down in the early 1980s with the blessing of the elder’s Archimandrite Seraphim Rakitsky (Tyapochkin), John Krestyankin, Archimandrite of the Pskov-Pechory Monastery.
The architectural project of the temple belonged to Andrey Rodygin. It was built for two years and consecrated for the 1000th anniversary of Rus’s Christianization in 1988, as the first newly built in the history of the New Russia.
Bobenchik depicted the Eastern facade of the Vvedensky Church in Sukharevo with three apses according to the number of thrones in the temple. The copper roof with a patina matches with the wall coating “under the gauntlet.” The Cross over the Central dome is made following the Pskov crosses, the oldest tradition to make the icon of Mother of God in a Crescent form.
