Christmas Church Founded in Khmelnytsky

13 November, 2012 - 00:00

Patriarch Filaret of Kyiv and All Rus'-Ukraine consecrated a corner stone placed in the foundation of Christmas Church. Addressing a large assembly of adherents, he promised to consecrate the church when built. This important event is dedicated to the 2000th anniversary of the baptism of Kyiv Rus’. This religious structure will have no equal in Khmelnytsky oblast and the adherents are confident that the first divine service will be celebrated on the holy jubilee date. The construction project is sponsored by Oleksiy Teleha, local businessman and a devout believer who not so long traveled from Bethlehem to Calvary. The temple is under construction in Dyvokrai [Wonderland], a micro-raion being developed by Mr. Teleha’s enterprises. Incidentally, 182 churches have been built and dozens of religious structures, once nationalized, renovated and returned to the faithful. Religious construction projects are carried out at a rate that can be only envied by all the other local projects, The Day's Mykhailo Vasylevsky was told by the regional state administration.
