On September 18, 2022, one of the earliest Gothic churches in Belarus, included in the state list of historical and cultural values ​​- the church-fortress in the village of Synkovichi, Zelvensky district, invites you to the festival "Sonka Vecha", dedicated to the 720th anniversary of the founding of the first fortress and 615 years since consecration of the temple.
The main part of the festivities will be the Divine Liturgy, which will be led by Archbishop Anthony of Grodno and Volkovysk with a host of bishops and priests. At the end of the service, a procession will take place around the temple. Everyone can pray and venerate the miraculous icon of the Mother of God "The Tsaritsa" and other shrines of the temple.
The festival site will be the area around the temple. The guests of the event will witness and participate in the historical reconstruction in the style of the medieval era of the time of the Grand Duke Vitovt.
