Ascension of Lord Church

Temple , Architecture

The Church of the Ascension of the Lord in Lukyanivka is a wooden church with one spherical dome and a bell tower above the vestibule.

Founded in 1758, rebuilt in its present form in 1879. According to church documents, the first rector of the church was priest Hryhoriy Favorskyi.

From 1930 to 1941, the Ascension Church was closed by the Soviet authorities. During the German occupation, Archpriest Ihnatiy Tune, who died in 1946 and was buried near the church, served in the Lukyanivka church. Since then, the Church of the Ascension remained active.

Russian-Ukrainian war

On March 25, 2022, at 4 o'clock in the morning, after the liberation of the village by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Russian invaders, the latter completely destroyed the church - a Russian tank fired four shots at the Church of the Ascension.

The dome and icons of the Ascension Church became exhibits of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War.
