The Church of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Polish Cerkiew Narodzenia Przenajświętszej Bogarodzicy, Ukrainian Церква Різдва Богородиці) is a modernistic church of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the village Biały Bór, Bazylego Hrynyka Street, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. The church was built for the Ukrainian population of the village, displaced here during Operation Vistula 1947 from its homes in south-eastern parts of Poland. The church was built from 1992 – 1997 after the design of Polish painter, professor Jerzy Nowosielski, with the collaboration of the architect Bogdan Kotarba. The church was designed after the severe architecture of three-aisled early Christian basilicas. The dome shows the image of Christ Pantocrator. The colour concept is based on the contrast of dark green walls and ceilings with white partitions and red door frames. The small iconostasis consists of only three icons, painted by Nowosielski. During the pilgrimages thousands of worshippers remain outside the small church, and the flat main façade with three doors serves as a large iconostasis with two icons of Angels and the Veil of Veronica. The Greek-Catholic parish of Biały Bór was established in 1957. It belongs to the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Wrocław-Gdańsk. == References == * Mieczysław Porębski: ''Nowosielski'' Wydawnictwo Literackie, Kraków 2003, ISBN 83-08-03361-X *(Biały Bór Photograph ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Biały Bór」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
