Churches of Belarus (part LXIII):  Orthodox church of the Annunciation (1867), Zabrez’zje, January 2014.  This church, nestled in a grove of trees, is another example of the so-called Muravjouki (Муравёўкі).  These churches were built by the Moscow Patriarchate in concert with the oppressive Russification policies of the Russian imperial authorities after the defeat of the Polish-Belarusian-Lithuanian uprising of 1863-64.

Churches of Belarus (part LXIV):  Roman Catholic church of the Holy Trinity (transformed 1997-99 from a commercial building), Zabrez’zje, January 2014.  Although this church is not architecturally distinguished, it is welcome evidence of the revival of Roman Catholic parishes in Belarus.

Касьцёлы Беларусі (частка LXIV):  касьцёл Сьвятой Тройцы (перабудаваны 1997-99 гг. з былога магазіну), Забрэзьзе, студзень 2014 г.
