In the Lithuanian village of Uzhusaliai, Jonava region, in a picturesque place on the high bank of the Sheshuva River, an elegant white-stone church in the name of the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky has been standing for 153 years. It was built by settlers from Russia, who founded the settlement of Aleksandrovskaya Sloboda. The building witnessed the flourishing of spiritual life, joy, holidays and human happiness. He survived the temple and tragic events, persecution and the atheistic construction of a “bright future”. For all its existence, it has never been closed, even during the years of wars and repressions.
