At the same time, some of the icons from the church iconostasis were taken to Kyiv for the filming of Serhiy Paradzhanov's film "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors". After the filming, the icons were transferred for storage to the Arts of Prykarpattya Museum in Ivano-Frankivsk, which saved them from destruction by the fire that destroyed the church of Saint Paraskeva in 1983.
The bell tower, damaged by the fire, was saved and restored.
