Evangelical Christian Baptist Church of Salyha

Mykola Riabyi’s “Salyha — the history of one church” appeared in two 2007 issues of Doroha, Pravda i Zhyttia. It describes the community’s beginnings, prayer houses and the restoration of church life. Membership figures and events refer to their historical dates, not the present.

Inside the prayer house

The exterior and chandelier photographs show two views of the same place: its familiar facade and the details seen inside.

Church of Saint Michael

Recorded on OpenStreetMap as a Christian church. The name follows the map entry; further details about the community and its present life await confirmation.

The photograph has no established date. The 3D object is an illustrative display of the image, not a reconstruction of the original stamp.
