Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Bialystok       The Church under the invocation of St. Mary Magdalene is the oldest church in Bialystok. It is situated on the hill in the city centre, near the cross-road of the streets: Krakowska, Grunwaldzka and Kalinowskiego, next to amphitheatre. The church dates from XVIII century. The Branicki family established the church and the cemetery, which belonged to "Bialystok's dominion". Until the half of XIX century it was administered by the heirs of the family, serving as a municipal cemetery. The taking over of the cemetery by the City Treasury in 50s finally ended a controversial dispute between catholic and orthodox parish. In the 70s, by the decision of the then authorities, the cemetery was destroyed and an amphitheatre was built. The church of St. Mary Magdalene is the chapel of St. Nicola's parish. It also serves as a garrison church (military parish under the invocation Apostles Peter and Paul). Father kapitan Igor Siegien is the rector of the military parish.          The parish feast - on the day St. Equal to the Apostles Mary Magdalene - 4 August (22 July, Old Style), and on the day of Sts.
