Klits’ko is a small village some 40 kilometers from Lviv.
Its Assumption Church and its bell-tower were built in 1603. The church
has gone through many repairs and renewals, but it still reflects old tradi-
tions of temple construction in Galicia.
From some time in XIXth century till 2000 the temple had been cov-

contains not only carved inscriptions with repair dates but also crucifix
images and wood-cut words, left by pilgrims and parishioners in XVIII–
XIX century. One of the inscriptions is a poem on God’s Glory ending
with with the verse “apostles attract us eternally”.
