Orthodoxy in Yahotyn

To main page

Our little site is about Orthodox life in Yahotyn (Jahotyn, Jagotin, Yagotin). This town is situated in Kyiv (Kiev) region of Ukraine - an ancient center of east-slavonic Orthodoxy (Kyiv Rus').

In this site placed information about churches of Yahotyn town and Yahotyn district (includes many villages), its histories and holies; also about different sects (mostly Protestant) and non-canonical "orthodox" religious organizations ("Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchy") here. Site is mostly in Ukrainian language because in our region near all people speak Ukrainian and this site is created for this people at first. But in future we'll plan translate main information into Russian and English.
