In the winter of 1394, the stone Church of the Nativity of Our Lady was dedicated in the Moscow Kremlin. The church had been paid for by Dmitrii Donskoi’s widow, the grand duchess Evdokiia Dmitrievna, and was placed on the site of the wooden Church of the Resurrection of Lazarus; the latter’s altar was transferred to another church. The time and circumstances of the wooden church’s construction are unknown. This article suggests that the wooden Church of the Resurrection of Lazarus was constructed in 1353 in memory of the sons of Grand Duke Simeon the Proud who had died of the plague. On the day the new stone church was dedicated (8 September), Dmitrii Donskoi’s victory at the Battle of Kulikovo was commemorated, as well as the patron saint of Simeon the Proud, St. Sozon, whose feast day falls on the eve of the Nativity of Mary (7 September).
