Над верхівками дерев височіють куполи Сходу


Domes of the east rise above the tree tops.


This beautiful church of Byzantine architecture is the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Elia in Wroxton, Saskatchewan.      
 

The cornerstone.  This is the third church of the congregation and was built in 1953.  The two earlier churches were built in 1902 and 1913.


The bell rang with a pure tone all through town and into the distance.  Chances are I woke up a few sleepyheads that early Wednesday morning.

  2. I was in the area earlier this year and bypassed Wroxton. That was a mistake.

    1. The Wroxton area is rich with history. A revisit is in order.

  3. That church is impressive even when slightly worn - imagine what it must have looked like in prior times when it was new.
