Description:
Church of the Holy Silversmiths Cosmas and Damian, Khodoriv, Stryi district
Abstract:

The old wooden church of the Saints Kosma and Damian in Khodoriv was built in 1600 and rebuilt in 1798. It was dismantled in 1919. The project of a new stone church was developed by Yakiv Rudnytskyi in 1922. In the same year the foundation was dedicated, but active construction was suspended due to lack of funds. In 1926, the same architect developed a second project, which was implemented. Construction was carried out using the method of vernacular construction. In 1935, the church was consecrated. The final completion of the church was prevented by World War II. The church is seven-story, cruciform in plan, built in the Ukrainian Neo-Baroque style. In the interior, there is an icon of St. Cosmas and Damiana from the 18th century from the old church. There are two icons by Antin Manastyrsky (one from 1934). Iconostasis by Yosyp Pavlyshyn with icons by Karlo Zvirynskyi. Polychromy of 1956-1957 by Roman Khoma (top), Zenoviy Ketsal, Volodymyr Patyk, and Fr. Serhiy Boreiko, with the participation of Yosyp Yarema, Yaroslav Tsybran, and Myron Karpinsky.
