CHIZHEVICHI


The oldest orthodox sacred object in Soligorsk district is relic of the past –the church in honour of the Mother of God Protection in the village of Chizhevichi. In October 2005 it marked its 210th anniversary. The majestic ringing of church bells has guarded our land for more than two centuries. The fact that a wooden church has remained standing in the kaleidoscope of various historical events is the proof of the grace of God to the truthful faithful who have protected the temple from destroying by atheists with the help of their  prayers.

There had been no church in Chizhevichi till1795. The villagers belonged to the congregation in honour of the Mother of God Protection in the village of Izdrashevo. In 1678 the church was burned down by the Saxons.

In1795 a new church was constructed in Chizhevichi with the efforts of parishioners. Priest Nikolai Kronikovskiy was the first to lead the congregation of 861 people.

In 1807 the church burned down but was restored and repaired more than once in the XIX century. The congregation was made up of 5 settlements with 2000 parishioners.

During the rule of Alexander I a belfry was erected to mark the abolition of serfdom in 1861. It is 27 meters high with 12 bells.

In 1885 the walls of the church were widened to give the room to 2717 parishioners. The church wasn’t painted at that time and was designed in the shape of a cross. In 1911 other regular repairs were made.

Priest Mikhail Doroshevich served in the church for 50 years. Then Priest Ioann Pankratovich, born in 1870, was appointed to lead the congregation. In 1918 on Easter Day Father Ioann was awarded a calotte for his zealous service. In 1935 the church was closed, but he secretly performed sacraments and personal services by request, called the parishioners to demand the opening of the church. On August 23 1937 he was arrested. In October 1937 Ioann Pankratovich was executed by shooting in Slutsk. In 2000 he was glorified as a saint.

Till 1942 the church was used by the authorities as a granary. During the war the services were renewed. In 1945 all the church plate and the bells of Saint-Nicolas church of Starobin were removed to Chizhevichi.

From 1985 till 2000 the congregation was led by Protopriest Nikolai Rozov. In 1986 the church was considerably renewed. In 1988 architects A. Kondratov and M. Lukyanchic headed the restoring works. In 1992-1994 a baptizing church in honour of Saint John the Baptist was constructed. The blue building is designed in the shape of an equilateral cross with 5 domes.

In 1994-1995 an administrative building was constructed which is also used for a library and Sunday school.    
In 2000 Protopriest Mikhail Ponuzhdayev was appointed to lead the congregation which is made up of 22 more villages of Soligorsk district.

Nowadays the Church in honour of the Mother of God Protection is a relic of the past among the wooden architectural monuments of the Republic of Belarus and one of the oldest wooden churches in the country.
