General information about Saint Peter and Paul Church (Sontsivka)

The single-seat Saint Peter and Paul Church in the village of Sontsivka was built in 1840 at the expense of the then owner of the estate, the Oryol Governor Petro Sontsov.

In the second half of the 19th century, the mother of the future composer Serhiy Prokofyev was the guardian of the Sunday school that operated at the church. Little Serhiy Prokofyev himself was baptized in this church, and until 1904 he sang in the church choir. Later, being famous, the composer came to his native village to pray at the temple.

Peter and Paul Church was restored in 1991 for the 100th anniversary of Prokofyev's birth. Her silhouette is depicted on the village coat of arms.

Однопрестольна Свято-Петропавлівська церква у селі Сонцівка збудована у 1840 ррці коштом тодішнього господаря маєтку, орловського губернатора Петра Сонцова.

Опікуном недільної школи, яка діяла при храмі, у другій половині ХІХ століття була мати майбутнього композитора Сергія Прокоф'єва. Сам маленький Сергій Прокоф'єв був хрещений у цій церкві, і до 1904 року співав у церковному хорі. Пізніше, будучи знаменитим, композитор приїжджав у рідне село, щоби помолитися храмі.

Петропавлівську церкву відновили в 1991 році до 100-річчя від дня народження Прокоф'єва. Її силует зображено на гербі села.
