Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Hlynyany is a witness of our history, a masterpiece of national art, as well as a sacrum with a special aura and energy that has been painted over generations. A small wooden structure was built in the centre of the town in 1749.  It remained intact during several major town fires. At the beginning of the 20th century, the condition of the building was really threatened and it was decided to dismantle and burn it. Church monuments in the interior of the church needed restoration, especially the altar image of the "Crucifixion" of the 18th century, which had darkened so much that it was impossible to read the image.

A miracle helped save the sacred ensemble. On the holiday evening of 1936, the "Crucifixion" began to glow, and three weeks later it appeared before the amazed faithful were completely restored. In 1938, Pope Pius XI crowned the icon, and later Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi granted the church the right of dispensation. The renovation of the "Crucifixion" saved the church and its treasures from destruction, in particular, the iconostasis of the first half of the 18th century.
