Värska Cemetery

An Orthodox congregation was founded at Värska in Setomaa in 1759, and a wooden church was built then; a small chapel now marks its site in the new cemetery. In 1904 the old church was pulled down and a new one, consecrated in 1907, was built beside it, and a new cemetery was laid out around it, while the old graveyard was abandoned. The cemetery around Värska's church is still in use today.

Eesti keeles

Värskas Setomaal asutati õigeusu kogudus 1759. aastal ja siis ehitati ka puukirik; selle asukohta tähistab nüüd uuel kalmistul väike kabel. 1904. aastal vana kirik lammutati ja kõrvale ehitati uus, mis pühitseti 1907. aastal, ning selle ümber rajati uus kalmistu, vana surnuaed aga jäeti maha. Värska kiriku ümbruse kalmistu on kasutusel tänini.
