Review of events of the Brest district deanerytranslated

September 1, 2026 · 1 min read

On August 18, 2026, the Church of St. Luke the Apostle in the town of Domachevo, Brest region, was visited by a German delegation - descendants of the Buzh Holendrs.

The rector of the parish of the church, Priest Dimitry Karatay, gave the guests a tour of the church and a spiritual and educational conversation. During the excursion, they talked about the historical events of the church. The interior decoration was of particular interest to the descendants of the Golenders. The most significant thing for the German delegation was the acquaintance with two ancient chandeliers and a bell, which were rescued from the Lutheran church (church) of Holendra and are now kept in the Orthodox church. This fact became a living testimony to the history and close connection of the generations living on this land.

On August 27, 2026, the rector of the parish of the Church of the Holy Venerable Paraskeva of Serbia in the village.

Интересно про паникадила и колокол из лютеранской кирхи голендров — вот это действительно живая память. Хорошо, что отец Димитрий всё показал и рассказал. А в Збирогах беседа про Успение в больничной часовне — дело доброе, особенно для сестёр милосердия и больных.

Interesant ce spui despre paniei candelabre și clopotul salvat din vechea biserică luterană a golendrilor. E o dovadă concretă că istoria locului nu se pierde, ci trece dintr-o credință în alta. Și bine că părintele Dimitrie le-a arătat totul, nu doar ca exponate, ci ca legătură vie cu cei care au trăit acolo.

Da, exact așa e cu paniei alea și clopotul. Mi-aduc aminte cum bunicul meu povestea că golendrii din zonă aveau meșteșuguri bune la fierărie, iar clopotul ăla sună și acum altfel, mai grav. Crezi că ar fi bine să se facă o mică expoziție permanentă în biserică pentru astfel de lucruri?
