- Baranavichy Church in honor of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women
In 2001, at the request of believers and with the blessing of the Archbishop of Pinsk and Luninets, Stefan, the third Orthodox community of the Holy Myrrh-bearing women was formed in Baranavichy. For the new temple, the city authorities allocated a plot in the city center, at the place where the church once stood too. It was built in 1908 in the name of the great commander, the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky. The wooden church of Alexander Nevsky survived 2 world wars, not one occupation, but was demolished in 1947 by decision of the regional and city councils of deputies.
The new Orthodox church was consecrated in honor of the Holy Myron-Wives, women whose life is an example of serving Christianity. In the Baranavichy church in honor of the holy myrrh-bearing women, the blessed memory of internationalist soldiers who died on Afghan soil is immortalized.
