Shortened text of the section. Full text in ukrainian version.

About this church with the original name "Church of the Meeting of Prince Michael of Chernihiv" we have references from 7133 [= 1624 – 1625] year.

From the above extracts it is clear that it was an ordinary parish church. It has preserved to this day and is located in .

With the demolition of the Kremlin Cathedral of Miracle makers, this episode of veneration ended, and the church in question no longer has a unique name the meeting of the relics of Michael and Fedor, but has a completely standard name Saints Michael and Fedor. A church with that name could stand anywhere.
