Holy Cross Church was built in the town of Baranovichi in 1924. Church acting. It regularly hosts Mass. He is a prime example of paradoxical contrasts characteristic of the modern Republic of Belarus. In these contrasts reflect long-suffering and full of unexpected changes of the history of this country.

Little cozy Catholic Church with the statue of Christ the door, a tall bell tower on the sky, and painted wooden figures of traditional Catholic mysteries is located at the Kuibyshev Street, just off Komsomolskaya. It is unclear how he survived after going through all the wars, revolution and change of power.

These wooden churches are found in Lithuania, sometimes in Ukrainian and Belarusian villages and small villages, but see a wooden church in the center of the modern city of Baranovichi - a real rarity.

An interesting detail - above the doors of the church adorns the Masonic sign - eye surrounded by rays in a pyramid, but a sign often found in Catholic churches.

In the courtyard of Holy Cross church is the altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the grotto, built of natural stone. Next set a high cross with a crucifix. At the altar of the cross, and always lots of fresh flowers.

Well maintained small temple garden, lovingly planted with pine trees and flowers, happy soul in the winter and summer. The temple is in perfect condition. Obviously, it is regularly updated and embellish the caring hands of the parishioners.
