context_page_description: Central Zelenchuchsky Church is an Alanian church, located in the Lower-Arkhyz settlement in Russia's Karachay-Cherkessia Republic. It is the oldest church in this settlement.
  It was built in two steps: construction began in the early 10th century, and finished in 932, when Christians were banished from the empire. The second stage finished around 950-960 when Alans returned to Christianity, with only small changes made from the original plan.
