The village of Antonivka on the Udai River is located 30 kilometers south of Pryluky.
During the times of Kyivan Rus, there was a settlement here, from which the remains of earthen ramparts have been preserved. The current Antonivka, according to legend, was founded in the 16th century by the fugitive peasant Anton as a Cossack farm. The greatest prosperity of the village came in the second half of the 19th century, when the owners of the village were the landowners and philanthropists Tarnovskyi, owners of the famous Kachanivka.
In 1889-1914, they built a new brick church of the Holy Intercession on the site of the old wooden church, which is still the decoration of Antonivka.
Село Антонівка на річці Удай розташоване в 30 кілометрах на південь від Прилук.
За часів Київської Русі тут існувало поселення, від якого збереглися залишки земляних валів. Нинішня Антонівка, за легендою, заснована в XVI сторіччі селянином-втікачем Антоном як козацький хутір. Найбільший розквіт села припав на другу половину XIX століття, коли власниками села були поміщики та меценати Тарновські, власники знаменитої Качанівки.
В 1889-1914 роках на місці старої дерев'яної церкви ними був побудований новий цегляний Свято-Покровський храм, який до цих пір залишається окрасою Антонівки.

The Church of the Holy Intercession in Antonivka was founded in 1889 on the site of an old wooden church. It was consecrated on the feast of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God in 1914. The red brick temple is made in the Rus-Byzantine style.
In 1920, the church was closed by the Soviet authorities. During the Second World War, the service was resumed for a while. In 1991, the Holy Intercession Church was returned to the Orthodox community of the village. At the same time, the restoration began, which continues to this day.
The interiors of the Church of the Intercession impress with bright colors and the almost complete absence of paintings.
