For more than 7 centuries, the central part of ancient Chernihiv has been decorated with this stone masterpiece - a small church in honor of Paraskeva-Friday.
These mighty walls of the architectural landmark of the pre-Mongol period have not seen any historical vicissitudes! Thanks to the architect and restorer P. Baranovsky for restoring it after another invasion during the Great Patriotic War! And thank you that the square of B. Khmelnytsky, on the territory of which the church is located, has been transformed and now the church is in a worthy frame.
This church was built as a refectory church of the Pyatnitsky Monastery in the late twelfth - early thirteenth century on the Chernihiv post, near Torga, and is named after the holy great martyr Paraskeva-Friday (a woman who preached Christianity to pagan peoples in the first centuries AD). , agriculture, family.
And this is an important point - because there is a legend that if an unmarried girl goes around the church three times on the watch church (asking Paraskeva to help get married), the wish will come true (tested on himself and his cousin). Of course not immediately, but for sure! In addition, to strengthen the request - on the facade there is a special stone "wishes" which must be reached and touched with the request. So you can come and try it!
Since 1991, the Friday Church is a functioning church of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate.
