There is such a picture, or rather, a sketch of Makovsky. During his lifetime, he didn't give it a name and generally kept it away. The name was invented for him already in the days of the Soviet Union. And that is a complete lie. Yes, prostitution was legal in the Russian Empire. But the church never sanctified brothels. Kiddush a home is a blessing. No one gave blessings to the brothels. It is simply impossible according to the canons. It did not happen and could not happen. By the way, the priest is not dressed at all for consecration. too fancy The plot in the picture, if we assume any plausibility, illustrates a regular prayer at home. Anyone can invite a priest to serve a prayer anywhere. And the priest could come and take confession to the brothel. This is a pastoral duty. That's why I personally don't really like our Perdvizhniki artists. No, masterpieces, of course, were a new word in art as well. But the gentlemen really liked to shock the public. And sometimes they themselves caused scandals. Hence all these stories about "drunken religious processions", "drinking tea in Mytishchi" (of course, Hieromonians drink tea in the heat in the garden only under the hood), crazy horror about how "Ivan the Terrible kills his son", whom he actually did not kill, etc., etc... Why precisely these, not the best works of our artists, ended up on the pages of school textbooks, I think, there is no need to explain.
