- There is no way you can translate Сретение as Purification. --Ghirla-трёп- 17:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple is the same as the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This church was originaly bore the Polish name Kosciol Matki Bozej Grominicznej (костел Матері Божої Громничної in Ukrainian), using a traditional Polish name of the feast, which would best translate as the Roman Catholic Church of the Candlemas. After a Ukrainian Greek Catholic parish was established here in the 1990s the Ukrainian name Церква Стрітення Господнього is used which is best translated as the Greek Catholic Church of the Presentation of the Lord. --212.76.33.106 (talk) 23:49, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
