A new OCU church in Kyiv dedicated to Boris and Hlib was consecrated — its founder was Vladyslava Molchanova
25 September, Primate of the OCU Metropolitan Epifaniy consecrated the church of the holy martyrs Boris and Hlib in the Varshavskyi neighborhood of Kyiv. Boris and Hlib are the first saints of Kyivan Rus–Ukraine. The church was laid down in August 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the start of the full-scale war construction did not stop, and in 2024 crosses were installed.
The church’s benefactors became Stolitsa Group founder Vladyslava Molchanova and her father, Professor Borys Romaniuk. Molchanova calls her father the inspiration for the construction.
According to Vladyslava Molchanova, the church is intended as part of a larger public space: a park has already been laid out nearby, a Sunday school is being built, and there are plans to install a drinking-water pavilion. And tomorrow, 1 October, the first festive service at the church of the holy martyrs Boris and Hlib will take place in honor of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos and Defender of Ukraine Day. It will begin at 9:00. Address: Vsevolod Zmiyenko St., 30.
