Kyiv / Podil Ukraine
Ukrainian Orthodox
The embankment church was built from 1772-75. Worship continued longer than any other church—until 1962—in Kyiv. Services resumed in 1992. For some time it served as the cathedral of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Kyiv. It is popular belief that the church was built near the place where the parents prayed for the return of their lost baby.
