A chapel was consecrated in Tiraspol exactly five years ago, on the 14th of October, 2018, erected on the site of the Protection Church, which was once considered the main one in the city, destroyed during the atheistic years. The date was not chosen by chance. October 14 In the Orthodox calendar is the Day of Protection of the Theotokos, the patroness of the city. It has become a tradition to hold holiday services here. Residents of Tiraspol and guests of the city participated in the prayer service, which was conducted by Archbishop of Tiraspol and Dubossary Sawa. President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic Vadim Krasnoselsky was also present at the solemn service.
The chapel is located in 25 October Street, which until 1921 was called Pokrovskaya. The Tiraspol public is in favor of returning the original name. The initiative is being discussed. The proposal has many supporters. The PMR President supports the idea, considering such a decision to restore historical justice.
