Holy Intercession Cathedral in Khmelnytskyi

The main Orthodox church of the city Khmelnytskyi  — the Holy Intercession Cathedral. Its construction dates to the 20s of the 19th century. At that time, according to the city’s master plan, a cemetery was opened, in the middle of which a small church was built. It was consecrated in honor of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God.

In the late 70s of the 19th century, the cemetery was closed, but the church continued to function until 1938. However, only during the period of perestroika, with the church freed from Soviet oppression, did its restoration begin, which led to the construction in 1992 of the new Holy Intercession Cathedral of the UOC.

Today, the Holy Intercession Cathedral is not only a symbol of the faith of Orthodox Christians, it is also a gem of the city, whose bell tower bell fills the city with a special atmosphere. The cathedral preserves such relics as: the icon of St. Blessed Motrona with particles of relics, the icon of St. Confessor Arch. Luke with particles of relics, and a reliquary with particles of the relics of the holy servants of God of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
