Author: A.N. Lushakova
The first wooden Trinity Church in Kremenchug was opened in 1891 on the street. Poltava.
Poltava tract (street) was first called almost the entire modern street. 60 years of October (or rather, now Svoboda Avenue): from Ekaterininskaya (modern Lenin Street or Cathedral) and further, through Sandy Mountain, it led to Poltava, at the beginning of the 20th century, its section to Sandy Mountain also began to be called Ekaterininskaya.
Therefore, they began to consider that the Trinity Church is also located on Ekaterininskaya Street. There was a fairly large cemetery near the church (the remains of the people buried there were disturbed during the construction of the modern Trinity Church). This church gave a new name to the former Crooked Dirty Street (now Krasina, or rather, Troitskaya again), which was called Troitskaya since the end of the 19th century.
The new, stone church was consecrated on August 23, 1915 (at the height of the First World War) by the Reverend Neophyte, Bishop of Pryluky, vicar of the Poltava diocese. Almost two months earlier, on the day of the Trinity, June 27, 1915, a solemn consecration and raising of crosses took place over this temple.
