Memorial cross in honor of the ruined church demolished in Dnipro City

In the Dnipro city park, located on the site of a former cemetery, vandals cut a memorial cross. It was established in 2008 jointly by the clergy of the UOC and city residents in memory of the devastated Lazarev memorial church and the buried in the former Sevastopol cemetery, reports the website of the Dnipropetrovsk eparchy.

The cross itself survived – indifferent citizens leaned it against the wall of the park fence.

In 1865 the cemetery there was built the Church of the Resurrection of Lazarus, which was demolished in the 1950s. From the 1880s city residents, including a lot of prominent figures of Ekaterinoslav, were buried in the cemetery. In 1932-1933 it was the final resting place for Holodomor victims.

In the years 1955-1957 a memorial park was laid out on the site of the cemetery.
