Although Novosokolnik edge is fairly young, he is very rich on the part of historical traditions. In the early years of settlement on the erection of the Church, the residents did not even think. As soon as there Orthodox holidays, many residents went to nearby cemeteries which have not been lacking in the temples. Five versts from the village was the Church of St. Nicholas in Zagare, assumption Church in Acnah, Znamensky temple in Minkin, Trinity, St. George Church in Popovich and Trinity Church in the Play.

For the construction of the Church was built in brick, and the temple dome was constructed of reinforced concrete. The architectural component of the temple were clearly familiar to the time features of the modernist style: ornaments and vignettes. The temple was designed in the traditional Byzantine form of an equilateral cross.

Just above the Church entrance was located on a special Board made of metal, on which was marked the inscription as a date of 1912 - the time of construction. Near the Church there was built a wooden belfry, containing nine bells. The new Church was a great fit for the inherent architectural appearance of the village and became one of its attractions.
