One of Totma's few working churches is the Nativity of Christ Church.  It was built in two stages, the lower part from between 1746 and 1748 and then the upper section and a bell tower were built on between 1786 and 1793.  It is an example of Totma baroque recognisable by its tall buildings.  In the 1930s the church was closed and its bell tower was destroyed.   In 1995 the building was returned to the Orthodox Church and fully restored by 1999.  The church now holds the relics of Totma's local saint St Theodosius of Totma, which were transferred here in 1994.
