Description
Among the beautiful sacral sights we can undoubtedly include the Greek Catholic wooden Church of the Protection of the Holy Mother of God from 1770, which stands in the mountain village of Miroľa in the northeastern region of Slovakia.
It has a characteristic log structure and a three-part outer and inner division. The interior is decorated with iconostasis and altar. In the sanctuary, there is the icon of the archangel Michael and the icon of the Mother of God, Virgin Hodegetria with praise located. Liturgical objects are found in the anteroom that were revealed in the individual rebuildings of the temple. Especially the rare raincoat, probably from the 17th century, is worth noticing.
A special chapter is the rare books used in religious services in the Church-Slavic language. The temple has been repaired several times, most recently a complete reconstruction in 2005-2008 has been carried out. As well as with other wooden churches, even here stands a wooden entrance gate with a low shingled roof in front of the church.
