Church Steeples in Ukraine

Most of these steeples are from the village, except for the last three. These are from the Kiev area.








Last Saturday we went to a village where they have moved original buildings from the 1750-1900 to this area to show how the Ukrainian Villages looked from their different areas. There are some from the Central, North and Western Ukraine. Will show you the different homes from these areas. Most of these Church steeples are from this village. Each church is still functional and in fact there was a mass going on in one when we were there. But these churches are very small, no pews, and you just stand up. Don't think they really give sermons, just recite their masses, do baptisms of the infants, and light candles.

This is the inside of the green steepled church. If you notice the man on the ladder he is refurbushing the pictures. If you zoom in you can see the different brightness of the pictures, so you can tell which ones he has already done.
This is an infant baptismal font fron the late 1700'S.

This is the inside of another church, you can see how small they are. That's all there is to them. Then if you look up through the tower it is all open through that area.
