[edit] History

Komanycza, Crziemyenna1512, de Komancza – 1524. The village was first mentioned in historical records in 1512. In 1785, the village lands comprised 8.93 square kilometers, with a population of 450 Greek Catholics, 16 Roman Catholics, and 15 Jews. [1]This village was the site of the ephemeral Komancza Republic after World War I, 1918-1919. In 1936, the village had 878 Greek Catholics (Uniates). The Ukrainian parish priest, Rev. Orest Venhrynovych, was killed in 1944, and the village was burned down 1946 during border disputes with Ukraine.[2] The responsibility for these actions is disputed. Some members of the village went to Ukraine in 1946. Other were removed from Komancza on April 29, 1947 as part of 'Akcja Wisla' and moved to the Slask area of Poland.

[edit] Culture and Religion

The wooden village church, "Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary", considered a pearl of Eastern Lemko architecture, was built in 1802, and was on the Polish Register of Historic Buildings. The church was occupied by the Uniates until 1963, when it was taken over by the Orthodox. Uniate services were then held in a Roman Catholic Chapel, until a new Uniate church was built in 1987. The old wooden church was totally destroyed by fire on 13 September, 2006, but the belfry is still standing. A number of liturical books, dated 1638 to 1793, were also severely damaged or destroyed in this fire. http://www.ppoz.pl/down/pwa/fr1006a.pdf
