The historic Orthodox church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Fasty, built in 1875 on the site of an old wooden church, was taken over by the Uniates in the interwar period and regained by the Orthodox in 1944. In recent years, it has undergone a general renovation, combined with the restoration of the polychromes decorating the interior of the church.

Participation in the Orthodox service provides an unforgettable experience. I heartily recommend individual tourists to visit the church on Sunday and take part in the Divine Liturgy. If you don't take pictures, no one will ask you out, I guarantee it! You will hear beautiful, inspired songs, smell incense, see dozens of lighted candles. The mysticism of the Orthodox liturgy is difficult to describe - it impresses everyone, without exception.

The Church of the Exaltation of the Cross is a beautiful monument. There is also a historic cemetery on the church square.
