The Ruthenian people of the Subcarpathian region highly appreciated and loved their Byzantine Rite, and they were always ready to make great sacrifices to have beautifully painted and decorated churches. Their wooden churches are gems of sacred architecture, while their inconostases (icon-screens) are insuperable monuments of artistic wood carving. And their old icons, painted in a popular style, today serve as centuries old witnesses of a deep faith and strong attachment of the Carpatho-Ruthenian people to their Byzantine Rite.
