Krasno, Russia

Krasno (Russian: Красно́) is a village (selo) in Vachsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.

Krasno is located on the right side of the Dobrushka River (Tuzha's tributary, which itself flows into the Oka), 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the left side of the Oka River and 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-east of Vacha, the administrative center of the district.

The 1676 tax books of the Ryazan eparchy describe the village as having the Saint Nicholas Church and several homesteads.

Due to that, local landowner Senyavin petitioned bishop Ieronim of Vladimir for a blessing to construct a new, stone church.

Since 1797, the liturgy was conducted in a warm wooden church in honor of the Theotokos of Vladimir, which has been obtained from Murom.
