The Church of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Biały Bór, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, is a modernist Ukrainian Greek Catholic church built from 1992 to 1997 to a design by painter Jerzy Nowosielski, with architect Bogdan Kotarba. Built for the Ukrainian population displaced during Operation Vistula, its severe form recalls three-aisled early Christian basilicas. Its dome bears an image of Christ Pantocrator, and its flat main façade, with three doors, serves as a large iconostasis during pilgrimages when thousands gather outside.
