Description:
Church of the Resurrection, Polyany village, Zolochiv region
Abstract:

In 1905, in the village of Polyany in the Zolochiv district, a wooden five-division three-story church of the Resurrection was built at the expense of the local community on the site of an ancient church built in 1645. The building was designed by Vasyl Nahirnyi. On the initiative of the then parish priest, Fr. Theophilus Petrovsky, the outstanding artist Modest Sosenko worked on the church's painting, creating the polychrome of the central dome and icons for the iconostasis and side altars. He was assisted by his students: his cousin Iryna Velychkovska-Shukhevych and Julian Butsmaniuk.
The interior of the church contains memorabilia from the previous church, in particular, a particularly revered icon of the Archangel Michael from 1868.
In 1927 a bell tower was built. Near the church there is a "column of sobriety", one of the few that has survived to this day.
