Inside Saint Paraskevi’s Church in Kwiatoń

I was happy that Saint Paraskevi’s Church in Kwiatoń was open to visitors. I found out that it is possible to have these churches opened for visitors as long as you call ahead. I realize you probably need to be able to speak Polish but at least there is a way to get in. It just so happened that the church already had visitors so I just needed to walk in. A look at the church and you can tell that is a tserkva, but it turns out that this one is now used for Roman Catholic rites. Perhaps there weren’t too many who follow Greet Catholicism that there was no point to have Easter rite services.

The interior of the church is wonderfully bright with gold being the prominent color as it usually is. In contrast to the other churches, this one seemed to be better maintained. I like how the ceiling is painted with religious images. One would imagine that a church as small as this one would probably not need something like that. In fact, they also have other paintings which depict scenes from the Bible. One would need to have an eye for detail when visiting this church as it has a lot to see. This would be the last of the churches or tserkva which I can visit. I have already skipped a few of them to be able to fit it within the day. Perhaps it would be better if one visited during the summer when the days are longer. I feel bad not being able to see the others particularly the ones near the Ukrainian border. Perhaps some other time I would have another chance to come back.
