Photographer’s Note

Orthodox church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (cerkiew Zwiastowania Najświętszej Marii Panny) in the town of Supraśl, near Białostok. This Orthodox church builted 1503-1511. In 1944, the retreating German army destroyed this church, along with all of its precious frescoes. The Communist government turned the monastery into an agricultural academy. After the collapse of the Communist government, the monastery was turned over to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which immediately began the still ongoing conservation work and renovation of the monastery. The church rebuilted according to the design of architects Beata Bejtman-Kuźmienko and Jerzy Kuźmienko.
