The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (another more popular name is the Church of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa at the Market) is a temple ensemble in the town of Staritsa, built in 1740–1825. and combining the motifs of late classicism and baroque.
Temple history
The temple has a long and complicated history, and there are many inaccuracies in its sources about its construction.
The first mention of the temple of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa dates back to 1668:
The complex of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, better known as the Church of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, who was considered the patroness of trade, is located on the left bank of the Volga River near the ancient old settlement. Once it was located on the Staritsa Torgovaya Square and, together with the many shopping arcades of the Gostiny Dvor, echoed the ensemble of the Assumption Monastery, located on the other side of the Volga. The townspeople often call the complex a nunnery. However, this is not a monastery, this is a magnificent ensemble of the temple, built in the XVIII-XIX centuries. And even today, despite the deplorable state, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is one of the sights and visiting cards of the city.
In the background, on a hill - the Ensemble of the Cathedral of Boris and Gleb and the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands.
The church ensemble is located in the town of Staritsa, Tver Region, on the Old Settlement opposite the Holy Assumption Monastery, located on the opposite bank of the Volga River.
This place was chosen a very long time ago, the first stone church (Michael the Archangel) dates back to 1390.
Then, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible and the heyday of Staritsa, the fortress was rebuilt here and the Borisoglebsky Cathedral was laid.
However, in 1609, during the destruction of Staritsa by the Poles, the cathedral was badly damaged and was almost completely ruined.
New places of worship were erected relatively recently: in 1807 - the Cathedral of Boris and Gleb and in 1827 - the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands and the bell tower.
During the Great Patriotic War, the temples were badly damaged, then they were used for household needs. The cathedral was opened after restoration in January 2019.

Церковь Рождества Пресвятой Богородицы (иное более популярное название -  храм Параскевы Пятницы на Торгу) – храмовый ансамбль в городе Старице, построенный в 1740–1825 гг. и сочетающий в себе мотивы позднего классицизма и барокко. 
История храма
Храм имеет длинную и сложную историю, в его источниках о его строительстве имеется множество неточностей.
Первое упоминание о храме Параскевы Пятницы датируется 1668 годом:
Комплекс храма Рождества Богородицы, более известный как церковь Параскевы Пятницы, считавшейся покровительницей торговли, находится на левом берегу реки Волги рядом с древним старицким городищем. Когда-то он располагался на Торговой площади Старицы и вместе с множеством торговых рядов Гостиного двора перекликался с ансамблем Успенского монастыря, расположенного на другом берегу Волги. Горожане часто называют комплекс женским монастырем. Однако это не монастырь, это великолепный ансамбль храма, построенный в XVIII–XIX вв. И даже в наши дни, несмотря на плачевное состояние, церковь Рождества Богородицы является одной из достопримечательностей и визитных карточек города. 
На заднем плане, на возвышенности - Ансамбль собора Бориса и Глеба и церкви Спаса Нерукотворного Образа.
Церковный ансамбль расположен в г. Старица Тверской области на Старом городище напротив Свято-Успенский монастыря, расположенном на противоположном берегу реки Волги.
Место это было облюбовано очень давно, первая каменная церковь (Михаила Архангела) датировалась аж 1390 годом. 
Затем, во времена правления Ивана Грозного и расцвета Старицы, здесь заново отстраивается крепость и закладывается Борисоглебский собор.
Однако в 1609 году во время разорения Старицы поляками собор сильно пострадал и практически был полностью руинирован.
Новые культовые сооружения были возведены относительно недавно: в 1807 году - собор Бориса и Глеба и в 1827 году - церковь Спаса Нерукотворного Образа и колокольня.
Во время Великой Отечественной войны храмы сильно пострадали, затем использовались для хозяйственных нужд. Собор открыт после реставрации в январе 2019.
