The church of the Nativity of the All-holy Theotokos, Eastern Orthodox church in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.

The Church of the Nativity of the All-holy Theotokos stands in the center of Kryvyi Rih with traditional Orthodox architectural elements and a prominent bell tower.

Founded in 1886 by a local rural society, the church operated until 1935 when Soviet authorities closed it and transformed the building into a juvenile detention facility.

The church celebrates its feast day on September 8, marking the Nativity of Mary and coinciding with the traditional end of agricultural fieldwork in the region.

Regular services take place in the church building, which includes a spiritual enlightenment center and maintains connections with the Kryvyi Rih Eparchy administration.

The church survived multiple closures and transformations during the Soviet period before reopening in 1991, when extensive architectural renovations began.
