Description:
Church of the Holy Silverless Cosmas and Damian, Tsebliv, Chervonohrad district
Abstract:

The Church of St. of Cosmas (Kuzma) and Damian in Tsebliv was built and consecrated in 1871. It is characterized by the harmonious compositional integrity of traditional wooden architecture. The three log cabins are girdled around the perimeter with a wide porch on the eaves of the log cabin crowns, topped by three identical helmets like roofings with lanterns and bulbous crowns with crosses. The name of its builder is Simeon Kozak, who built similar wooden churches in the nearby villages of Hilche and Korchiv. The inner space of the church is opened up to the zeniths of the domes of the nave, the altar and the nave. The walls are covered with paintings from two periods, which are surprisingly well combined. The author of the older ones is the local artist Ilya Petryshyn. His saints are on the walls in the form of illusory sculptures on consoles and in Renaissance aedicules, and Ukrainian angels in embroidered shirts envelop them with their unconditional protection from the domed heavens. Later stenciled geometric ornaments successfully emphasize the architecture of the church and its Ukrainian identity. The wide, four-panel king's door with the evangelists is assembled from two king's doors.

In 2012, on the initiative and efforts of Tsebliv resident Viktor Vergun, the church was included in the State Register of Monuments of Cultural Heritage of National Importance.
