Історія створення та діяльності лікарняних каплиць в Україні

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the current active functioning of religious chapels at medical institutions, in particular, in Ukraine. Against the background of such tendentiousness, the attention of scientists is attracted by the features of the integration of religious practices into the processes of interaction with traditional medicine. In the course of the study, the origins of the beginning of the work of hospital chapels in Ukraine are analyzed, starting with samples such as a stone hospital for veterans in the Lviv region of the 17th century, in parallel with modern examples. In the course of the study, the processes of the emergence of the most famous hospital chapels in Lviv, Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolaev and Kyiv regions were considered. For objectivity, photographs of the first Murovany Hospital for Veterans (XVII century), the Alexander Hospital and the Mikhailovskaya Church attached to it (1901), the Mikhailovskaya Church at the beginning of the 20th century, compared with its current state are given. The history of the beginning of more than ten religious chapels at hospitals is analyzed. The connection between the programmed goals of the beginning of the chapels and their current mission and functionality is determined. The history of the creation and sustainable functioning of hospital religious chapels in Ukraine is viewed through the prism, against the background of the functioning of architectural objects, mutual tolerance and reasonable interaction between medical institutions and religious denominations. An analysis of the stated problems will allow a better understanding of the features of the current functioning of hospital chapels. The characteristics of the stated issues will help to expand the understanding of the features of the interaction between religion and medicine in modern times.
