St.Sampsoniy church.
St. Sampsoniy is one of the most respected Saints of the Orthodox Church. He lived in times of the Roman Empire and was a gifted doctor, famous for his unique talent of curing even in hopeless cases. After his death in 1530 the Orthodox Church canonized him.
This church is one of the three that were lucky to survive in terrible 1930-s when fourteen Poltava churches were razed to the ground. St. Sampsoniy church is well known by its beautiful icons, painted by the draft of the famous Russian painter Vasnetsov.
In 1991 St.Sampsoniy church resumed its activity as a parish.
