The memorial exhibition is dedicated to the fifth anniversary of the death of Father and Chaplain Mykyta Chudynovych.
Father Mykyta served people in Bashtanka and the villages of the Mykolaiv region for many years. He is remembered as a clergyman, educator, and a person dedicated to the spiritual and cultural life of his native land.
The exposition features personal belongings of Father Mykyta, rare early printed editions of the Bible, his works, photographs, and materials telling about his life, family, and service.
The presentation was attended by Mykolaiv chaplains Vasyl Morozov and Andriy Markovych, representatives of the "Prosvita" Ukrainian Society of the Mykolaiv Region, the NGO "Vitovka Ukrainian Society," as well as friends and like-minded people of Father Mykyta.
A special gift consisted of paintings by artist Oleksandr Bondarenko from Bashtanka depicting the church where Father Mykyta served.
The event was organized by the Children's Charitable Foundation "Father, Chaplain Mykyta Chudynov" and the NGO "Vitovka Ukrainian Society" as part of the activities of the KRAI Local Lore Information Center.
The memory of people who served their native land lives on in memories, books, photographs, and items that we preserve for posterity.
The exhibition will run until January.
We invite you to visit the Museum of Local History at Library-Branch No. 18 of the M. L. Kropyvnytskyi Central Library, 12 Korabeliv Avenue, Mykolaiv.
