Tserkva Vvedennya V Khram Presvyatoyi Bohorodytsi

Church of the Introduction Ave. Of the Virgin in the Temple 1755 "1638" or "1755" - that's the question ... These dates argue among themselves, which of them belongs to the construction of the existing old church in Shchepanov. The parish church that was before it burned down. The current building miraculously escaped the fire of the First World War and a ruthless fire in 1936. In Soviet times, it was originally operating as an Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The year 1986 came. Obviously, the church has not been used so far. Barbarian communists arrived, completely damaged the interior of the shrine, tore down the icons, dismantled the old iconostasis and burned it all in a mineral fertilizer warehouse. It is unknown how the golden cup and the aged "Gospel" were not allowed to disappear in this hell. In this way, the atheists prepared the premises for the museum, which was closed after some time. In 1990, Greek Catholics were allowed to worship in the church. It had to be completely repaired so that it could be used. Today it is a thing of the past - parishioners built a brick church during 1990-1993. The old three-log house with one top is maintained in a satisfactory condition, as well as a wooden two-story bell tower. It is interesting to see how from the attic immediately begins the roof of the Babinka, in which there is no window. decerkva.org.ua
