A modernised reading of the text

Rzyszczów with a church famous for its miracles.

Usually in our country, the orchards of the Transnistrian and other rivers are most wrongly attributed to the Greeks. I would think, based on the only evidence today, i.e. etymology and phonetics, that all our ancient cities were founded by Polans, descendants of the founders of Kyiv. Based on this, I also assume that Rzyszczów may have taken its name from rżysko, i.e. a field left after reaped grain, and that it was originally called uzysków, until, with time, as the Polanian language developed, Rzyszczów came into being through a change of consonants.

In today's Rzyshchiv, located in Kyiv Governorate, district of Kaniiv, on the Dnieper river, there was founded the wooden monastery and church in 1765 by the starosts of Trakymir Stanislav and Ursula Szczerbowski, née Niloslavska, who settled the Trinitarians and gave them the village of Shchuchinka, situated a mile down from here on the Dnieper river. The Trinitarian Fathers ruled over this parish, comprising 65 villages and 5 towns, until 1832, i.e. until their suppression.

Since 1819, the Superior of the monastery, Fr. Jozef Czarnecki, has built the present-day church, which was consecrated in 1829 on 8 September by Archdeacon Archdeacon Zanin. 8 September by the Archdeacon of Kyiv, Fr Pavel Piotrovsky, under the former emblem of the Holy Trinity. The church is built on a former cemetery, facing the city and with its great altar facing the Dnieper River; in May, the Dnieper flows under the very church wall, where bydaks and steamers approach.

Above the temple shines a globe with a wooden cross supported on a pyramid clad in sheet metal, with the inscription:

"God is provident." .

After the death of Rev. Czarnecki in 1851, Rev. Ludwik Chwyżyński became the parish priest, who, with good and zealous devotion, and with the help of God-fearing parishioners, decorates his church more and more each year. It has five altars. The large one features the miraculously famous Lord Jesus, painted on a canvas nailed to a tree, with an unspeakably attractive face.

Today's parish priest, with the help of pious parishioners, intends to renovate this altar from the ground up. The two side altars have been freshly decorated with pilasters in the medieval style. The church has also some not bad paintings; only the emblem picture of the Holy Trinity is missing so far, which supposedly the owner of Chodorow, Mrs. Eustachowa Jankowska, is to order from Warsaw artists. On the choir in the brick half-oval, where the new organ is located, images of almost all popes are painted on the outside in miniature.

The whole church is neatly maintained, for which gratitude is due to Pastor Chwyżyński, Eustachy Jankowski and others. The Rzyszczów estate passed from the Voronicz family to Jozef Działyński, a general of merit to the country, and then to his son Sigismund, born of Voroniczówna, who from his two wives, the daughters of Wodzicki, former president of the former Republic of Cracow, left descendants still living. Entering the city, on the right, one can see a Catholic cemetery in a nice position, facing the Dnieper, with rather ornate tombstones and meticulously maintained.
