Abstract:

In 1715, the previous wooden church in the village burned down and a wooden church from the village of Hlynske was moved to its place. V. Slobodyan, a researcher, discovered the date on the wall of its nave – 1508 (a chemical study of the wood should confirm or refute this dating). The same sensational is the high iconostasis of the church, the upper tiers of which date from the mid-second half of the 16th century. It is an example of the oldest act of Prayer, painted on the same board with festive icons by a highly professional anonymous master. The crown icons, created in the 1680s, belong to the heritage of Zhovkva masters, known for the high professional level of their works. In particular, the author of the icon of St. Nikolas of 1687 is called Ivan Rutkovich, the leading master of this center.
