General information about Saint John the Theologian Church (Vikno)

The one-nave stone church of Saint John the Theologian without a dome was built in the 19th century as the ancestral burial place of the Counts of Kantakuzyn, who owned the village.

Part of the relics of the holy great martyr and healer Panteleymon, brought from Mount Athos by Count Oleksandr Kantakuzyn, who is considered a descendant of the Byzantine emperor Ioann VI Kantakuzyn, is preserved here. The box with relics was miraculously preserved during Soviet times, and now it is the main relic of the temple.

Однонефну кам'яну церкву Святого Іоанна Богослова без купола збудовано в XIX столітті як родову усипальницю графів Кантакузинів, що володіли селом.

Тут зберігається частка мощів святого великомученика та цілителя Пантелеймона, привезена з Афона графом Олександром Кантакузиним, якого вважають нащадком візантійського імператора Іоанна VІ Кантакузина. Скринька з мощами дивом збереглася за радянських часів, і тепер це головна реліквія храму.
