If anyone would like to hear about the history of the miraculous painting that came to Kodeń from Rome, stolen by its healed owner, Kodeń, at 10:00 a.m. from May 1st to October 31st in the basilica one of the clergy will talk about the history of the Sanctuary.

We visited Jadłodajnia on Sunday around noon. Mass had just ended at the church, and a group of people from the church went straight to the Jadłodajnia. It's best to avoid such moments, as they make the checkout line longer. I ordered tripe and pork tenderloin in chanterelle sauce with buckwheat groats and salad, asking for a larger portion. The price depends on the weight of the dish; it cost a little over 40 złoty, which, in my opinion, wasn't much considering the portion size. Very tasty, I recommend it. See the photo.

The Church of the Protection of the Mother of God in Sławatycze is an impressive Orthodox church from the early 20th century, the main spiritual centre of the local community. Built in 1910–1912 according to the design of Alexander Puring, it represents the Byzantine-Russian style with characteristic red walls and white details and five onion-shaped domes. The church survived a turbulent history, including the war period, the Vistula Action and years of devastation, but thanks to the efforts of Orthodox monks from Jabłeczna and the support of parishioners, it was renovated. The church is located on Kodeńska Street, right next to the market square, and today it once again delights with its restored frescoes and icons, being an interesting place to stop during a bicycle trip through Podlasie and Polesie.

the Eucharist was celebrated as before. I felt at home. I recommend this place because during the prayer I felt like time had gone back.

Inside the temple there is a single-row iconostasis with an arch above the royal gate, on which more round icons are visible. Saints associated with Byzantium and Kievan Rus are depicted in two groups above the iconostasis[3]. Such iconostases were present in all Orthodox churches erected according to the same design by Puring, funded by the Paschal family[21]. Icons of Christ Pantocrator and St. Nicholas from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries [3]. In addition, the church is equipped with an icon of the patrons of the family that founded the facility - Saints Claudius, Elizabeth and Basil https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerkiew_Opieki_Matki_Bo%C5%BCej_w_S%C5%82awatyczach

Church of the Protection of the Mother of God - Orthodox parish church in Sławatycze. It belongs to the Terespol deanery of the Lublin-Chełm diocese of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The first Orthodox church in Sławatycze was built at the end of the 15th or at the beginning of the 16th century. After 1596, the parish that administered it accepted the union. The currently functioning Orthodox church was erected in the years 1910-1912 in place of a former Uniate building from the 18th century. The founder of the building was a Slavophile publicist and landowner Klawdij Paschałow. The building was commissioned in September 1912 and since then it has been the main temple of the parish in Sławatycze. In the years 1915–1918, the church served as a field hospital. In the Second Polish Republic, it again became an active Orthodox temple. In 1938, it was on the list of churches to be destroyed as part of the Polonization and Revindication action, but its demolition was stopped by the parish priest of the local Roman Catholic parish. In 1947, when the Orthodox population of Sławatycze was deported as part of the "Wisła" Operation, the church was abandoned and fell into disrepair for the next three years. Irregular services were held there from Easter in 1952. It was restored to permanent liturgical use in 1965 thanks to the efforts of the superior of the monastery of St. Onofrio in Jabłeczna, Archimandrite Eulogius.
