The parish of Makeevka begins construction of the churchtranslated

Prikhody.ru 11/13/2026. The ceremony of consecration and laying the foundation stone of the new church took place on the territory of the Church of the Bogolyubskaya Icon of the Mother of God in the city of Makeevka (Donetsk People's Republic).

The parish of the Bogolyubskaya Icon of the Mother of God has existed in Makeevka since 2002. For a long time, believers gathered in the adapted premises of the former kindergarten building, which, due to its dilapidation and cramped conditions, did not meet the needs of the community. In addition, the village of United, where the church is located, has been repeatedly shelled since 2014. Shrapnel and shaking from the explosions damaged the roof, windows and façade of the building, reports Orthodox Donbass.

In 2022, repair work began as part of the Patriarchal program for the restoration of churches. And in 2026, with the blessing of Metropolitan Vladimir of Donetsk and Mariupol and with the support of benefactors, the project to build the church received practical implementation.
