The church itself, has a historic crypt where some 400 Russian emigres were laid to rest, most of whom arrived in Argentina after World War II. The church is remarkable for its size and grandeur. Its builder, Fr Georgy Romanov, envisioned it as an option for the headquarters of the Synod of Bishops of ROCOR, which was forced to leave Europe in 1950. The site was called "the Russian hearth" by Fr Georgy, who was sent by the Synod to Argentina in 1947 to organize the possible immigration of Russian refugees, registered as the "Russian Orthodox Hearth" (Hogar Ortodoxo Ruso) by a presidential decree. Oleg Mikhno was the architect, himself the son of a priest and friend of Fr Georgy. He also painted many of its icons for the future church. Holy Virgin Protection Church on the Nerla River, Russia, was chosen as the model for the new church. On January 1, 1957, the lower Church of St John of Pechersk along with the crypt were consecrated. The saint's relics were placed in the foundation stone. The walls were shelved with niches, where the remains of Russians were placed after being exhumed from the cemetery 4-5 years after their deaths. As Fr Georgy wrote in an August 1957 report to Archbishop Afanassy, "Permission to place these remains in the church was issued in Argentina for the first time since 1825, when a special law against the Roman Catholic Church's practice of interring remains 'in holy places' was issued. So this was a special Divine blessing upon the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia." This was truly a blessing from God, to allow the Russian diaspora to have a crypt for the preservation of their dead (in Argentina the practice is to dig up graves after several years and place remains in common graves). Memorial services began on a regular basis for all, and one could obtain an urn for interment. By 1957 it was clear that the Synod of Bishops would not move to Argentina. It was then that the idea of establishing a monastery in Castelara first emerged. Fr Georgy wrote in a thank-you letter to a donor on March 1, 1957: "In the future, on the large parcel surrounding the church being built will be a Russian Orthodox monastery. The church will therefore obtain a diocese-wide significance, since the crypt can be used for all residents of the Republic, and the future monastery will become an Orthodox spiritual center for all of South America." http://www.russianorthodoxchurch.ws/synod/engdocuments/enart_buenosaireschurchhistory.html
