The interior Joy of all who Sorrow Church is an Orthodox church in Druskininkai, Lithuania. The church was built in 1865, after Druskininkai become a highly popular spa town, with many wealthy Russians coming there and staying for a few months every year. The vice-governor of Grodno, Yakov Rozhnov, announced a collection of funds in the whole country. Among the contributors, there was the granddaughter of general Mikhail Ilarionovich Kutuzov, Iekaterina, who offered the sum needed for the construction of the iconostasis. Rozhnov himself also donated ten thousand rubles. The church was built between 1861 and 1865. Up from 1890, the Orthodox parish in Druskininkai also ran a school for girls of different confessions. In 1915, when the I World War started, most of the Russian Orthodox inhabitants of Druskininkai quitted the town. However, after the Vilnius region was annexed by Poland, the town - and so the parish - become of the centers of Russian White emigration. Because of that, the church was closed in 1944, after Red Army entered Druskininkai. At this time there was around 350 Orthodox christians in Druskininkai and the Soviet government agreed to reopen the parish in 1947. In addition, ten years later, the church was renovated. It still houses a parish, although the number of the parishioners has been falling since the seventies. Sources G.
