Church of St. Paraskeva

The wooden church of St. Paraskeva in Krehiv was built in the second half of the 17th century, modeled after the Church of the Transfiguration of the Krehiv Monastery. In 1724, the church of St. Paraskeva was repaired (rebuilt) by master Ivan Khomyuk. The church is three-part, three-story. Near the church is a wooden belfry from the 18th century, along the lower tier of which was once the entrance to the church yard. The church has a tall six-tiered iconostasis composed of icons from different times: 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Part of the icons: prophets in the prophetic tier, apostle Peter in the prayer tier is similar in style to the works of Ivan Rutkovych. The medallions with the Archangel and the Mother of God from the 1740s above the king's gates are the work of the Zhovkva master Vasyl Petranovych. The 17th century icon of the Mother of God with Jesus also stands out for its special craft skills, in the central tier of the iconostasis. The decoration of the church is an epistyle from the 16th century, with saints and two not-made Images of the Savior located on the outer wall of the choirs. It was probably originally part of the iconostasis of the old parish church in Krehiv. It is unique in its iconographic program and has no analogues in Ukrainian iconography.
