Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. St. Alexander Nevsky Church is an church in the Naujinnikai district of Vilnius. It was built in 1898 and closed by the Soviet government in 1959. After the fall of the Soviet Union it was given back to the Russian Orthodox Church, but due to the destruction of the interior of the building during the period of closure, no services are now held there. In 1895, the Orthodox Brotherhood of the Holy Spirit appealed to the local government to build a new Orthodox parish church in the southern districts of Vilnius. Next year, the architect M. Prozorov prepared its project, which included a brick church and a parish school with separate classrooms for boys and girls. The building was ready in October 1898 and was consecrated in the same month by Orthodox archbishop of Vilnius and all Lithuania, Iuvenaliy Polovtsev.
