General information about Nativity of Christ Cathedral (Olha's Church) (Korosten)

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, which is also called the Saint Olha's Church, rises above the Uzh River on the outskirts of "Drevlyanskyi Park" in Korosten.

The name is connected with the legend of how Princess Olha, who burned Iskorosten in revenge for the death of her husband, repented of what she had done and, after accepting Christianity, built a temple on the burnt area, where she came to pray for her sins.

The parish of Saint Olha was founded in Korosten in 1990.

Кафедральний собор Різдва Христового, який також називають Свято-Ольгинською церквою, височіє над річкою Уж на околиці "Древлянського парку" у Коростені.

Назва пов'язана з легендою про те, як княгиня Ольга, яка спалила Іскоростень у помсту за смерть свого чоловіка, покаялася в скоєному і після прийняття християнства збудувала на згарищі храм, куди приїжджала замолювати гріхи.

Парафія Святої Ольги була заснована в Коростені в 1990 році.
