Holy cross Church Photo: Holy cross Church

Holy cross Church was built in the town of Baranovichi in 1924. The Church is valid. In it are regularly held mass. He is a shining example of paradoxical contrasts, typical of the modern Republic of Belarus. In these contrasts reflected the long-suffering and full of unexpected changes, the history of this country.

Cozy little Catholic Church with the statue of Christ above the gate, a tall bell tower, staring at the sky, and painted wooden figures of traditional Catholic mysteries set on the street of Kuibyshev, street Komsomol. It is unclear how he survived, through all the wars, revolutions and regime change.

These wooden churches are found in Lithuania, sometimes in Ukrainian and Belarusian small towns and villages, but to see the wooden Church in the centre of the modern city Baranovichi – a real rarity.

An interesting detail above the doors of the Church emblazoned Masonic symbol – the eye surrounded by rays in the pyramid, although this sign is often found in Catholic churches.

In the courtyard of Holy cross Church is the altar of the blessed virgin Mary in the grotto, built of natural stone. Near the high cross with a crucifix. The altar and the cross are always a lot of fresh flowers.

Well maintained small temple garden, lovingly planted pine trees and flowers, pleases the soul in the winter and summer. The temple is in perfect condition. Obviously, it is regularly updated and stained the caring hands of the parishioners.
