The All-Holy Church or the Church of All Saints (Cemetery Church) is located in the center of the city of Kherson, on the territory of the historical necropolis (the city's central old cemetery).
It was built in the classical style in 1804-08 and expanded in the 70s of the XIX century.
The temple was consecrated on the week of All Saints and is distinguished by the fact that it is the only Orthodox church in the city that has not stopped its activities for two centuries, even during the godless period. During the years of church persecution, this small chapel served for prayers and funeral services for the deceased, when the bells were removed and all valuables were seized.
This is one of the old churches of the city. She has a special spirit. It is very small inside, but there is a special grace in it. Prayed for by more than one century of priests and parishioners. You feel very peaceful and calm in the church.
A magnificent carved wooden iconostasis has been preserved in the interior of the temple. Some of his images were made by Yaroslavl icon painters at the beginning of the XVIII century. In addition, there are several interesting icons of the XVII-XVIII centuries in the temple.
The church is an architectural monument of the XIX century. It is a pity that the church is being destroyed over the years. Small donations from parishioners are not enough for a complete renovation of the church. The city government, apparently, does not care about the topic of reconstruction and repair of spiritual temples at all.
So the Church of All Saints stands thanks to the prayers of the sacred ministers and faithful parishioners.
