Description:
Church of St. Dmytriy, Volytsia village, Lviv district
Abstract:

1875 in the village of Volytsia through the efforts of the village priest, Fr. Kornyla Saik built a large wooden church of St. Dmytriy. The structure is one of the best implemented projects of wooden churches by the well-known Lviv architect Sylvester Havryshkevych. The walls of the building are covered with monumental figurative and story scenes made by local painters. The icons of the tall multi-carved iconostasis were made by the famous Ukrainian artist Teofil Kopystynskyi. In the sanctuary of the church, the images of Teofil Kopystynskyi, "Prayer on the Mount of Olives" and "Coronation of the Virgin" are stored, for which funds were offered by local residents.

The icons and the 18th century Gospel, which were transferred from the previous church, have considerable artistic value.
