In the borderland of cultures

We are presenting our reader with this album, which is a resault of the authors' fascination with the culture of the borderlands. In the Podkarpacie, as in no other place, the fusion of Western and Eastern cultures has left its mark in the unparalleled number of wooden Orhodox and Catholic churches erected throughout a period of over 500 years. In the remaining wooden temples of the Podkarpacie we can trace the unique atmosphere of the multicultural and multiethni c reality of the Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) of the historical Polish Republic, an area of religious and cultural tolerance.
