Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

One of the new and important buildings in Pervomaisk is the Kazan Church. Construction began in 1999. The nine-domed church was built over 12 years. Until then, the Sviato-Kazanska community was housed in the local cinema. So from an architectural point of view, the building is a prayer house with an area of 120 sq m, which was renovated, extended and converted into a church.

A Sunday school has been opened at the church. Its teachers often lead educational tours and workshops for schoolchildren and teachers. On major religious holidays, the priests organize events with contests that allow children to learn more about the history of the church's founding and the Orthodox faith.

Interesting facts:

• In the central part of the church is a unique three-tiered wooden iconostasis, made in the style of Ukrainian Baroque.
• The church was consecrated in November 2011
• The first liturgy in the church took place only in 2013.
