Святая Троица возле Кейвилля


Holy Trinity near Kayville.



The congregation was established in 1915 with the church being built in 1923.  From what little information I could find, a few services are still held at the church each year and the cemetery is still in use.  Even with snow cover it was easy to see the grounds are very well cared for as is the church. 



The dome and cupolas in combination with the cruciform shape and rounded apse define this country church as Eastern European through and through...and next year will be Holy Trinity's centennial.


Situated at the far end of the grounds is a community hall (visible here just on the left-hand side of the road) which I'm sure has been host to many gatherings both joyous and sorrowful over the decades.   


Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church and Cemetery was photographed near Kayville, Saskatchewan on January 26, 2022.
