A Lemko bell tower was unveiled during the festival Bells of Lemkivshchyna in the Ternopil region. It was built to mark the 65th anniversary of the deportation of Lemkos.The bell tower and the bell itself were blessed by the Apostolic Administrator of the Buchach Eparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Fr. Dmytro Hryhorak. As reports Zaxid.net, the tower was built in the traditional Lemko architectural style.

The head of the Ternopil Regional State Administration Mykhailo Tsymbaliuk, who was the first to ring the new bell, announced to those present that a resolution was passed to build a Lemko open air museum – a wooden Lemko church. He is sure that it will become a center for the spiritual life of the Lemkos.

More than 20 thousand people took part in this year’s festival Bells of Lemkivshchyna, which took place from August 7-8, 2010.

      Скоріше є спокуса оцінювати по тому, що вони самі про себе скажуть. :))))))))))))))

      Приємна новина. Цікаво, яка магістратура ще буде відкриватися.

      Повністю погоджуюся з двома попередніми відгуками (lfilip56@gmail.com та chernomorets). Лячно стає від такого наміру.
