Свята-Ефрасіннеўская царква, Полацк, Eastern Orthodox church in Polotsk, Belarus

The Svyata-Yefrasinievskaya Church is a rectangular stone church with a five-sided apse to the east, a four-sided side chapel to the south and a narthex to the west. It is covered by a two-slope roof with a small cupola on a wooden octagonal drum. The entrance is an arched portal reached by a wide staircase, the walls are decorated with rustication, and the semicircular windows have architraves.

A domestic church was set up in a monastery dwelling in 1842 and consecrated to Saint Euphrosyne of Polotsk. In 1847 it was rebuilt as a warm stone church, and in 1886 the walls were raised, a choir, altar, porch and sacristy added, and the church reconsecrated on 12 December. Closed with the monastery around 1925 and badly damaged in the Second World War, it stood half-ruined until repairs in 1987–1989; services resumed in 2009 after 82 years.

The church is dedicated to Saint Euphrosyne of Polotsk, founder of the monastery. Its main relics are the venerated Iveron and All-Tsarina icons painted on Mount Athos, and an oak reliquary that once held her relics and now contains her chains. A particle of her relics is kept here.

The church is a rectangular volume with a five-sided apse to the east, a four-sided side chapel to the south and a narthex to the west, entered through an arched portal reached by a wide staircase. Services are held on feast days and Sundays, with the early Divine Liturgy; the 1886 stone annex now serves as a separate prayer room for the sisters, and a wooden 1990s annex is the sacristy.

The church holds a particle of the relics of Saint Euphrosyne of Polotsk, and an oak reliquary coffin that once held her relics now keeps her chains. Patriarch Alexy II visited in 1998 and Patriarch Kirill in 2009.
