In Lviv, the restoration of the upset Christ sculpture, located at the corner of Zelena and Pasichna streets, has been completed after the works that had started in July. In addition to the sculpture, the tilted column on which it stays was levelled and restored as well. Lilia Onyschenko, head of the City Council’s department for the protection of the historical environment, told this in a comment to Tvoemisto.tv.
According to her, the Sorrowful Christ in the Boim Chapel is not the only sculpture in Lviv.
«Someone once invented that there is the only Sorrowful Christ in Lviv, the one in the Boim Chapel. In fact, this is a fairly common plot. Here is a special upset Savior on a high pillar. It is difficult to be found among trees and thickets, surrounded by unattractive buildings. And the fate of the sculpture also looked sad», – she added on Facebook.
The restoration was carried out at the expense of the Cultural Heritage Foundation and the «Polonika» Institute.
