Description of the sight
Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos The Greek Catholic Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos was built in 1738 at the expense of the Komarnitsky magnates next to the first wooden Ruthenian church of the 16th century in the city. The paintings were made by the icon painter Yablonsky. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Sambir, crowned in 1928, was moved to the new temple from the old one. After the Second World War, it was considered lost, but in 1996 it was found, restored and returned to the temple. Tourists are more attracted by the fact that the relics of St. Valentine, the patron saint of lovers, are kept in this church. The holy relics, which had previously rested in the cemetery of St. Priscilla in Rome, were transferred in 1759 by the Vatican to Sambir for safekeeping. The authenticity of the relic is confirmed by the document of the Pope. On Valentine's Day and the Meeting of the Relics, the relics are carried around the temple and placed in the center for a week.
