Saints Peter and Paul in Yellow Creek

This is Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Yellow Creek, Saskatchewan.

The building is mostly hidden from view by a dense caragana hedge.

A rear view of the church.

The domes are topped by hand-crafted wrought iron Orthodox crosses.

There is also a bell tower in the church yard. 

The church cemetery is just on the edge of town.

  1. I imagine you also had a look at the Meskanaw Trestle. Did you ever get to the old store in Tway? Luckily, we got there a while back and had a very pleasant conversation with the elderly gentleman owner. I guess it closed after he passed away. Not many stores like that left.

  2. I've seen the Meskanaw Trestle a couple of times in the past year. I didn't even know about it until I saw it from the highway. I stopped at the old store in Tway this past summer but no one was around.
