General information about Saint Joseph's Church (Polupanivka)

The Church of Saint Joseph was built in Polupanivka in 1894 on the top of the Holy Mountain next to the Orthodox chapel of the Holy Spirit, which stands above the healing spring.

According to legend, the Mother of God appeared here about 200 years ago. Since that time, the Holy Mountain has been a place of pilgrimage for Christians of various denominations.

During the Soviet era, the church was closed, but in 1991 the service was resumed. Today it is the Sanctuary of the Mother of God of the Holy Scapular. In 2010, the "Way of the Cross" with bronze sculptures at 14 stations was opened near the church.
