The orthodox parish of the Nativity of John the Baptist was founded and registred in 1995 by blessing of Filaret, Metropolitan of Minsk and Slutsk. It is located in the Partisan district (Minsk, Belarus). The parishioners aim to build the stone-work temple not far from the underground station "Tractor Plant" ("Tractornii zavod"), in the Student's park ("Uchenicheski skver").
According to the project the churche is going to be the gaunt building looking like the ark. The church will include the belfry (zvonitsa) over the vestibule, the cuplola over the main building part and the alter apse. The temple will be the precious of the district.
