MoroccoРабат1931–1932Public buildings

The Rabat parish was organised in 1927 by Hieromonk Varsonofy (Tolstukhin), sent from Paris at the request of Russian émigrés. The plot was donated by a Rabat resident, Moulay Ahmed Djebli, who was married to a Russian subject; in 1929 a deed of sale was drawn up for a symbolic one franc on condition that the land be used only for a Russian church. The church was built in 17 months and consecrated in 1932 by Metropolitan Evlogy (Georgievsky).

Приход в Рабате организован в 1927 году иеромонахом Варсонофием (Толстухиным), присланным из Парижа по просьбе русских эмигрантов. Участок под храм пожертвовал житель Рабата Мулай Ахмед Джебли, женатый на русской подданной; в 1929 году оформлена купчая на символическую сумму в один франк с условием использовать землю только под русский храм. Церковь построена за 17 месяцев и освящена в 1932 году митрополитом Евлогием (Георгиевским).
